Oliseh Applauds Cisse Over Senegal’s Last-16 Qualification

Published

Former Super Eagles head coach and a member of the FIFA Technical Study Group for the 2022 World Cup, Sunday Oliseh, has praised the doggedness of Aliou Cisse’s Senegal side for their win over Ecuador in their last group stage match on Tuesday.

Kalidou Koulibaly’s strike sealed a 2-1 win at the Khalifa International Stadium and earned a knockout stage for the Lions of Teranga.

It is the first time the Teranga Lions have qualified for the round of 16 at a World Cup since 2002 under the guidance of Bruno Metsu and Cisse featured in four of their five matches at that tournament.

Senegal also set the record as the first African nation to beat a South American side at the World Cup since Cameroon overcame Colombia in 1990.
