Senegal wrapped up their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group I campaign with a commanding 5-0 victory over ten-man Iraq at Toronto Stadium, keeping their hopes alive of advancing to the round of 32 as one of the eight best third-placed sides.

Ilimand Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr were the standout performers on the night, each contributing a goal and an assist as the Teranga Lions dismantled an Iraqi side reduced to ten men.

The emphatic win puts Senegal in contention for a last-32 berth, though their progress depends on results elsewhere — they must finish among the top eight third-placed teams across all groups at the FIFA World Cup 2026.
