Senegal has become the first African team in history to score five goals in a men’s World Cup match, following their 5-0 thrashing of 10-man Iraq in their final Group I fixture.
Ismaila Sarr, Pape Gueye, and Iliman Ndiaye all scored and assisted as the Teranga Lions produced the biggest ever victory by an African country at the tournament. The last time a team had three players score and assist in a World Cup match was when Germany hammered Brazil 7-1 in 2014.
