Senegal are celebrating heading through to the last 16 of the World Cup for only the second time in their history. Captain Kalidou Koulibaly proved his nation’s hero as the Chelsea defender popped up with a match-winning volley 20 minutes from time in Doha, shortly after Moises Caicedo looked to have Ecuador on course for the knockout stages.
The Brighton midfielder had turned home to cancel out a penalty on the stroke of half-time from Ismaila Sarr, the Watford forward coolly picking out the bottom corner after being wiped out by Piero Hincapie. Senegal held on to reach the last 16 for the first time since their memorable run to the quarter-finals on debut at the 2002 tournament in Japan and South Korea.
It will be the winners from Group B up next for them on Sunday night, likely England, with Ecuador left to painfully reflect on what might have been. Follow reaction from a dramatic World Cup clash live below, with expert analysis from Malik Ouzia at Khalifa International Stadium.
