World Cup 2026: Senegal humiliate South Sudan and stay on course
Senegal showed no nerves. Facing South Sudan this Friday, the Lions of Teranga put on an attacking masterclass to secure a commanding 5-0 victory, reaffirming their position as leaders of Group B in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The Senegalese side took control from the opening half. Ismaïla Sarr broke the deadlock in the 29th minute, before Sadio Mané—once again rising to the occasion—doubled the lead right after the break (46’). Ismaïla Sarr, in brilliant form, then bagged his brace (54’).

Thanks to this triumph, Senegal now boasts 21 points, still leading the group ahead of DR Congo. Unbeaten since the start of the campaign, the Lions head into their final fixture against Mauritania, scheduled for October 14, with just one mission: to definitively secure their ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
