In the 41st minute of the first half, Famara Diedhiou expertly headed in an excellent corner kick by Ismail Jakobs to give Senegal a 2-0 lead.
After receiving a superb right wing ball from Ishmeal Mohammed in the 77th minute of the second half, Qatar’s Mohammed Muntari brought the score down to 1-2.
The 84th minute of the second half of the game saw Senegalese sub Ahmedu Bamba Dieng score his team’s third goal, giving the French Speaking West African Team its first three points of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
