Senegal recorded the first African win at the 2018 World Cup when they beat Poland 2- 1 on Tuesday. Africans at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia have been wearing forlorn faces after four of their five teams lost.
But Senegal gave signs of making the difference by holding their own before the 44,190 crowd who were witnessing a match fought from end to end in the opening minutes.
The Poles did hold the advantage in possession though, but after a neat move in the 37th minute, Senegal opened scoring.
Idrissa Gueye’s shot was deflected in by Thiago Cionek to give the Lions a deserved lead.

@Rotty; definitely not Nigeria because Super Eagles will beat Argentina and Iceland to qualify for next round. @Nenye; The Senegalese boys really tried in redeeming African football image in the ongoing tournament
