England vs. Senegal

4′: Senegal gets some early pressure

Boulaye Dia was able to split a pair of English defenders but the entry pass to him in the box had just a bit too much on it, preventing Senegal from getting a shot.

22′: So close for Senegal

Ismaïla Sarr was so close to fully connecting on the cross, which would’ve given Senegal a 1-0 lead. 

32′: Pickford picking up England

Senegal continued to pressure England in the first half, with Dia getting a shot off just a few yards in front of the net. But Jordan Pickford made the diving stop to keep the match scoreless.

38′: England goes on top

England was able to turn the tide, not only keeping Senegal off the board despite its pressures but also scoring a goal itself. Jordan Henderson got the right touch on a pass from Jude Bellingham to give the Three Lions a 1-0 lead.

Setting the stage

England begins the knockout stage looking to go on another long run like it did in 2018, when it reached the semifinals before losing that match and the third-place match. The Three Lions got off to a good start in group play, getting dominant wins over Iran and Wales with a draw with the USA sandwiched between. 

For Senegal, it wants to continue its surprise run after it made it out of Group A without Sadio Mané, one of the top players in the world. It still won’t have Mané for the remainder of the tournament, but Senegal’s already won twice without him and played a strong match in its loss to the Netherlands. 

This marks the first time the two nations have faced each other. 

Raheem Sterling out

England announced roughly an hour before the match that midfielder won’t play Sunday to attend to a family matter.
