Led by Sadio Mane of Liverpool, the West African country that is the best ranked African country in the FIFA ranking opened its World Cup account with an own goal from Brazilian-born defender Thiago Cionek at 37 minutes
However, Senegal, in its second appearance in the World Cup since its impressive debut in 2002, achieved an impressive victory over the astonished Europeans, and will seek to take control of Group H when they face Japan, who previously recorded a surprise 2 -1 Colombia wins, on June 24.
