Senegal head coach Aliou Cisse was left to rue his side’s failure to convert several gilt-edged chances as they lost 3-0 to England in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Sunday.
England opened the scoring through Jordan Henderson before Harry Kan scored his first goal of the tournament to double their advantage.
Bukayo Saka put the icing on the cake after converting Phil Foden’s cross in the 57th minute to seal a comfortable win for Gareth outhgate’s side.
“A match lasts 90 minutes and in the first half we played pretty well and created chances but unfortunately we didn’t score,” said Cisse.
“We were playing a very good England team and we saw that in their challenges, their physical strength. We weren’t as good as we should have been.”
“Senegal’s strength before the World Cup was our defensive set-up. The fact we have let in a lot of goals at this tournament is difficult to explain. We are going to have to look at that.
“You pay for any mistake you make at the World Cup because of the calibre of the teams.”
