Coupe du monde 2026 : en corrigeant l’Irak, le Sénégal établit un record historique
Senegal secured a resounding 5-0 victory against Iraq on Friday, during the third day of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. This demonstration of strength allows the Lions of Teranga to maintain a slim hope of qualifying for the round of 32, while also making history in African football.
With their backs against the wall before this final match, Pape Thiaw's men had only one option: to win convincingly. They rose to the occasion, delivering a top-level attacking performance against an Iraqi team that was quickly overwhelmed. Sadio Mané and his teammates scored five goals without conceding any, thus securing their biggest ever World Cup victory.
Beyond the importance of the victory in terms of points, this performance has a historical dimension. By scoring five goals in a World Cup finals match, Senegal becomes the first African team to achieve such a feat in the history of the competition.
The Lions also broke another record by securing the biggest win ever recorded by an African team in the World Cup finals. This achievement testifies to the quality of their performance and their attacking efficiency.
It now remains to be seen how the other group matches will play out to determine if this attacking display will be enough to allow Senegal to continue its American adventure. Whatever happens, this victory will be etched in the annals of Senegalese and African football as a historic achievement, one that could serve as a catalyst for an ambitious generation.
