The Lions of Teranga have conceded one goal in six games of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers so far, making them the third-best defence after Ivory Coast and Tunisia, who have yet to concede a single goal.However, their offensive flaws have made quite an issue for the team, with two goalless draws against Togo and Sudan pushing them away from those top spots. Therefore, the home win against Togo in the reverse fixture last night was mandatory, and the Lions of Teranga lived up to expectations with a deserved 2-0 win.Pape on the scoresheet for Senegal in a 2-0 win against Togo 🇸🇳 pic.twitter.com/36AuvtD4sK— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) March 26, 2025 Pape Matar Sarr broke a five-man defensive wall on time before the break to put his side in front. That opener released the pressure off their shoulders, and they doubled the lead midway through the second half thanks to Boma’s own goal.At the same time, Sudan failed to beat South Sudan (1-1), which definitely went in favour of Senegal, who are now tied with Sudan in the runners-up position with 12 points. DR Cong still top the group with 13, and the last four rounds will provide us with some sensational drama, as only the first place guarantees the direct qualification for the World Cup, while the second-placed team advances to the playoffs.##NAJAVA_MECA_8808535##Interestingly, the Lions of Teranga will face both of them in the next to fixtures, in the first days of September, which will decide their WC destiny.2026 WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS – AFRICASaturday Togo – Mauritania 2-2 (1-0)/Klidje 4, Denkey 69 – Koita 52, Mahmoud 55/Sudan – Senegal 0-0Sunday Eswatini – Mauritius 3-3 (2-0)/Mkhontfo 13, 18, Mabuza 75 – Rose 47, Aristide 50, Vincent 90+1/Kenya – Gabon 1-2 (0-1)/Olunga 62 – Aubameyang 16, 52 pen/Monday Namibia – Equatorial Guinea 1-1 (0-0)/Shalulile 51 – Coco 54/Central African Republic – Mali 0-0Guinea B. – Burkina Faso 1-2 (1-1)/Banjaqui 36 – Traore L. 6, 73/Liberia – Sao Tome 2-1 (2-1)/Andrews 4, Farkarlun 32 – Do Sacramento 44/Ivory Coast – Gambia 1-0 (1-0)/Haller 15/Madagascar – Ghana 0-3 (0-1)/Partey 11, 54, Kudus 59/Ethiopia – Djibouti 6-1 (3-0)/Desta 19, 52, 70 pen, Nasir 34, 37, 58 pen – Akinbinu 51/Tunisia – Malawi 2-0 (0-0)/Jaziri 86, Achouri 90+2/TuesdayAngola – Cape Verde 1-2 (0-1)/Gelson Dala 50 – Rocha Livramento 45+2, 63/Benin – S.Africa 0-2 (0-0)/Foster 53, Adams 84/Nigeria – Zimbabwe 1-1 (0-0)/Osimhen 74 – Chirewa 90+1/Rwanda – Lesotho 1-1 (0-0)/Kwizera 58 – Fothoane 82/Uganda – Guinea 1-0 (1-0)/Okello 36/Botswana – Somalia 2-0 (0-0)/Mohutsiwa 73, Johnson 82/Burundi – Seychelles 5-0 (3-0)/Nduwarugira 23, Bimenyimana 25, 32, Kanakimana 50, Girumugisha 57/Cameroon – Libya 3-1 (1-0)/Aboubakar 26, 61, Mbeumo 51 – El Mariamy 90/Egypt – Sierra Leone 1-0 (1-0)/Zizo 45+2/Sudan – South Sudan 1-1 (0-0)/Eisa 76 – Sebit 90+9/Algeria – Mozambique 5-1 (3-1)/Amoura 8,30,80, Mandi 24, Hadjam 65 – Catamo 40/Comores – Chad 1-0 (1-0)/Said 24/Mauritania – DR Congo 0-2 (0-1)/Pickel 3, Mayele 83/Senegal – Togo 2-0 (1-0)/Sarr 35, Bome 65 og/Morocco – Tanzania 2-0 (0-0)/Aguerd 51, Diaz 58 pen/
