England will be present in the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the second time in a row (in Russia in 2018 it reached the top four), which in the fourth match of the “16” stage of the Qatari tournament confidently won 3-0 against Senegal in Al-Bayt of Al-Kor.

With Jude Bellingham (at 19 years and 158 days old, the Dortmund ace became the second youngest player to start for England in a World Cup knockout match, after Michael Owen, who was only 18 years and 198 days old against Argentina in 1998). ) and Phil Foden with assists (one first, two second) and Henderson, Kane, Xac, taking advantage of the passes of their teammates, the “three lions” managed to easily reach the quarterfinals, where they are waiting for the world champions, France (Saturday at 21 :00).

Senegal’s attempt after 20 years to get into the “8” of the World Cup was unsuccessful. Aliou Cisse’s team held on for 38 minutes, but from the moment they conceded the first goal, they collapsed and surrendered unconditionally.

The African side threatened in the 4th minute as Dia rode towards Pickford’s goal, but at the last minute he lost control of the ball before he could score.

The match was played at a slow pace as the England players tried to keep the ball at their feet longer to impose their pace. However, it was all over for the Three Lions outside the Senegalese zone, as other than Bellingham, the rest of the midfield and attack players couldn’t “find” each other.

21 minutes went by without end in the two-team match, England made the first move, but the Stones’ header from Foden’s corner went wide. Senegal missed the first big chance of the game two minutes later.

Maguire’s error outside the box led to a cross into the heart of the English defence, Dia attempted a running shot to threaten but the ball came to rest on Stones’ body.

The lagging Saar rushed in her way and with a shot from very close range failed to score, and we still do not have the final throw for either team.

Another great phase for the Africans in the 32nd minute, when Pickford kept a clean sheet thanks to a powerful intervention from Daiya’s strong shot from the center of the penalty area. Against the current of the game, England opened the scoring in the 38th minute.

In their first organized attack, Southgate’s team turned the ball beautifully, Kane gave it to Bellingham, who provided an assist … Half a goal gave Henderson an exemplary 1-0 win for Mendy from the penalty spot.

The goal gave “wings” to the English, who also scored the second goal late in the first half (45΄+3), and Harry Kane “opened the scoring” in the tournament.

In a quick counter-attack, Bellingham passed to Foden, who gave the National captain a ready goal, and he didn’t miss. Kane has scored 52 goals in 79 appearances for his country (11 in major competitions, including 4 at Euros and 7 at World Cups) and has moved into second place on the all-time scorer list behind Wayne Rooney who is at the top (in 120 matches).

England dominated the field in the second half and soon ended 3-0. Again thanks to an assist from Foden, in the 57th minute, Saka increased the score by scoring his third goal of the tournament.
