Senegal

Khadim N’Diaye- 7

Actively attacked the set-pieces, punching away a free-kick and a corner in the space of minutes and was quick off his line.

Youssouf Sabaly - 8

Not just strong in the air but smart, sending the ball out to give his teammates time to get back into position after Colombia's goal kicks.

Kalidou Koulibaly- 7.5

Confidence on the ball helped him push up even when under direct pressure.  

Salif Sane- 7

Did well to track Muriel’s runs and not dive in, holding the attack up so Senegal could get bodies behind the ball.

Lamine Gassama- 6

An example of solid defending, Lamine didn’t bother with anything too fancy simply dealing with threats as they came and quickly returning the ball up field.

Ismaila Sarr - 7

Good control allowed him to make the most of lofted passes with a strong first touch that allowed him to immediately stride forward.  

Cheikhou Kouyate- 9

Determination to help his team get back in numbers saw Kouyate often end up in exactly the right spot to cut out loose balls. He was very impressive in midfield.

Idrissa Gana Gueye- 6

Attempted to work the ball through the midfield but was let down by heavy touches.  

Keite Balde- 6

Didn’t have a major impact on the game and was replaced with ten minutes to go.
