Senegal are out of the World Cup after slumping to a 3-0 loss against England in the round of 16.

The Lions of Teranga suffered a slow start to their campaign in Qatar with a 2-0 defeat against the Netherlands in their opening match, but they guaranteed progression to the knockouts with victories against Qatar and Ecuador.

It was the team's first appearance in the round of 16 since the 2002 World Cup where they pulled off a 2-1 extra time win over Sweden to advance to the quarter-finals.

What are Senegal's chances?

Dubbed the Lions of Teranga, Senegal’s World Cup team went into this tournament as dark horses.

They are competing under the stewardship of Aliou Cissé, the team’s former captain who as a player led them to the Africa Cup of Nations final in 2002. After taking up managerial duties, his squad won the tournament this year and reached the final in 2019. A former defensive midfielder at Birmingham City and Portsmouth, he has coached Senegal for seven years now and seems to operate a well-oiled machine.
