Senegal thrash 10-man Iraq in five-goal World Cup rout
Senegal cruised to a 5-0 victory over Iraq at BMO Field in their World Cup Group Stage - 3 fixture, a scoreline shaped early by a red card and never seriously in doubt thereafter. Habib Diarra opened the scoring inside four minutes, finishing off an assist from Abdoulaye Seck, before Iraq's task became even harder when Rebin Sulaka was sent off in the 13th minute.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
With a numerical advantage for almost the entire match, Senegal dominated the second half. Ismaïla Sarr doubled the lead in the 56th minute, teeing up Pape Gueye to make it three just three minutes later. Gueye struck again in the 71st minute, this time assisted by Iliman Ndiaye, before Ndiaye completed the scoring in the 82nd minute with Gueye turning provider.
Senegal's control was total across the ninety minutes, dominating possession at 69 percent and producing 28 shots to Iraq's six. The gulf in quality chances was stark, with the hosts racking up an expected goals figure of 3.1 against Iraq's 0.18, a fair reflection of how one-sided the contest became after the early sending-off.
Pape Gueye was decisive at both ends of the pitch, scoring twice and setting up another as he finished with a rating of 9.9, the highest of the match.
Senegal's 12 corners to Iraq's three underlined how territorially dominant the hosts were throughout.
Senegal beat Iraq 5–0 (half-time 1–0).
