Chelsea star Kalidou Koulibaly fired Senegal into the World Cup last-16 with the winning goal in the second half of their group stage clash against Ecuador on Tuesday. Ismalia Sarr gave Senegal the lead just before half time but Moises Caicedo struck the equaliser only for Koulibaly to smash home the match-winner moments later.
Koulibaly, who captains Senegal, reacted sharply to a loose ball from a free kick to fire into the back of the net with a goal that sees Senegal finish as group A runners-up, where they could potentially face England in the next round.
Senegal fought back against the odds after their defeat to the Netherlands in their Group A opener where two Edouard Mendy mistakes saw Louis Van Gaal's side strike twice in the final 10 minutes, but after beating Qatar on Friday, they duly confirmed their World Cup qualification with a 2-1 win over Ecuador.
