Team Senegal in the game of the 5th round of the qualifying stage of the African zone won South Africa 2-0.

Guests secured a victory in the first half, when goals in the performance of Diaphra Saho and Tamsana Mkhize, who designed an own goal, allowed to win a comfortable victory, and with it three points. Thus, after defeating the opponent, Senegal for the tour to the end of the qualification managed to book for himself participation in the World Cup, which in 2018 will take place in Russia.

Interesting is the fact that this confrontation will certainly enter the history of world football. The matter is that this game from the very beginning occurred in the middle of November 2016 and ended with the victory of South Africa with the score 2: 1.

However, in one of the episodes of that meeting, the chief referee saw in some strange way the game by the hand from the player's side of the guests, for which in the end appointed a penalty.

After some time, FIFA conducted its own investigation and came to the conclusion that the match needs to be replayed, and the judge himself - for life to be disqualified for an openly "left" penalty.

As you can see, the match was still held, and Senegal became the 24th team, which will go to the Mundial. Previously, "lions" played at the world championships only once - in 2002, where they reached the quarterfinals.
