Senegal Beat Iraq 5-0 to Keep FIFA World Cup 2026 Knockout Hopes Alive
Senegal kept their FIFA World Cup 2026 knockout hopes alive with a dominant 5-0 victory over 10-man Iraq in their final Group I match.
Iraq suffered an early setback when defender Rebin Sulaka was sent off in the 13th minute after a VAR review for a challenge on Sadio Mane. Habib Diarra opened the scoring before Senegal took complete control in the second half. Ismaila Sarr netted his fourth World Cup goal to become Senegal’s all-time leading scorer at the tournament. Substitute Pape Gueye stole the spotlight with two spectacular long-range strikes, while Iliman Ndiaye added the fifth.
Senegal finished third in Group I and must now wait to discover if their tally is enough to qualify among the best third-placed teams.
