Liesse popular in the country of Téranga since the final whistle match South Africa-Senegal. Indeed the Lions of Senegal are already qualified for the 2018 World Cup to be held in Russia. They just beat South Africa by 2 goals to 0 this Friday on their own facilities in Polokwane.
The match counted for the second day of the group, after FIFA ordered that the match be replayed due to the tainted match played on November 12, 2016. The Ghanaian referee Joseph Lamptey then whistled an imaginary penalty for the South. Africans, who won by 2-1.
Men coach Aliou Cisse have not spent a night of rest, however. The “Bafana Bafana” were very offensive, even hitting the crossbar in the first half.
The return match, without stake, will be played next Tuesday in Dakar. It will be an opportunity to celebrate this second qualification for a World Cup.
Senegal joins Nigeria and Egypt already qualified.
