Can Taranga Lions deliver where the other four African teams failed to shine? Perhaps that is the question on the lips of every African as we have seen the opening minutes of their tie against Poland.
Recall that prior to the heading to Russia the Super Eagles played a friendly against Poland earning a lone goal victory. But the world cup is here and goal scoring is key.
Tunisia history books at least that of Russia 2018 after grabbing a goal against England on Monday but they still lost the game joining Nigeria, Egypt, and Morocco who have all lost their opening games. 
The Taranga Lions are holding their own so far but will the goals come in their favour? With 44 minutes possession and a goal to show for their effort, it is safe to say Senegal are not doing badly . But can they maintain the lead ? Second half on the way. Sixty two minutes on and two goals to Senegal . This might as well turn to cruise control. They certainly look good to run away with three points here . Good radiance you may want to say. certainly Cionek thanks for the own goal and Niang are not tired of scoring. Well well 87 minutes and Poland have pulled one back. Can Senegal hold on to the end? The difference between victory and a possible draw for Senegal now is just a minute with four minutes added time .This is certainly dangerous and the table could turn unless Sengal hold on, and hold on they did and so first victory for Africa and good start for Senegal
