World cup 2018: Colombia is essential vis-a-vis Senegal and describes itself for 8th as finale

Colombia finishes in the first place of the group H whereas Senegal is eliminated, because of one plus a large number of accumulated yellow paperboards.

The elimination of Senegal deprives Africa of a representative in 8th of finale for the first time since 1982. Qualified group H will know their adversary at the conclusion of the last interesting match of the group G, England–Belgium, since Tunisia and Panama.

And with this little game, the Senegaleses lost, leaded by 6 yellow paperboards since the beginning of the tournament against 4 with the team–members of Hiroki Sakaï. At the conclusion of the meeting, the sport selector of Senegal Aliou Cissé was shown… fair–play. “It is the law of football. One did not qualify oneself because one took more yellow paperboards”.

Colombia was essential (1–0) against Senegal thanks to a goal of Mined with the 74e, in the group H this Thursday, and described itself for 8th as finale of the World one.

Senegal, just like the four other African countries in string (Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Nigeria), thus did not pass the first turn. The Lions of Téranga have what to however nourish regrets. They were private of a penalty in first half after an intervention on Basket with 17th: the referee had dictated the supreme sanction before reconsidering his decision following the viewing of the video…

Even the entry concerned of old Sédunois Moussa Konaté did not make it possible Senegal to tear off an equalization which would have enabled them to prolong their stay in Russia.
