The sixth day of the 2018 FIFA world cup turned out to be a blessing and a curse for the African football sphere, as Senegal recorded Africa’s first win in the tournament, while Egypt were assured of a flight back home after losing to the host nation.
The Lions of Terenga stood their ground on Tuesday afternoon as they defend a one goal lead over Poland to seal Africa’s first 3 points in the 2018 FIFA world cup.
Senegal capitalized on a shambolic error by Thiago Cionek to hold a much needed first half lead despite the numerous attempts by the Polish team.
Russia moved to the brink of qualifying for the last 16 of the World Cup after the host nation beat Mohamed Salah’s Egypt in St Petersburg. Japan edged out a 10-man Colombia squad to win 2-1 in the World Cup Group H opening game.
