Senegal managed to qualify for their third straight World Cup by finishing top of Group B in African qualifying, but they needed a win in their final game to ensure automatic qualification with DR Congo, who also qualified for this summer’s tournament, hot on their heels in second place. Senegal finished the campaign unbeaten, and following their impressive performance in the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year, they will be looking to progress further than any other African side this summer. In what has become a bit of a farcical situation, Senegal defeated Morocco in the final 1-0 to lift the trophy on the day, only for that decision to be reversed months later and the match awarded to Morocco after the Senegalese players left the field following a decision by the referee they did not agree with. Nonetheless, Senegal are certainly one of the teams to beat this summer.
