‘Pride of Africa’ - Fans laud Senegal for the continent’s first win at 2022 World Cup

Hey, it was a good win, but get a grip. It's was just Qatar, who aren't good enough. They're the weakest team in the group. Senegal, should get serious and beat Ecuador to qualify for the second round. - Hussein Salim

Great performance by Senegal but the outcome of this match was never in doubt. Qatar was never going to give Senegal much problems as they are clearly not in the same class. The real test will be against Ecuador which is a more experienced team than Qatar with more quality too. - Victor Cobham

Any of our teams from Africa could defeat this Qatar team. Their only goal was even scored by a Ghanaian. - Eze Chinyelugo II

If all the teams at the World Cup played with Qatar one by one, all of them will beat Qatar. - Jeff Issac

I wish them best of luck. They really played well although they need to work on their defence. - Oliver Nnaemeka

Congratulations to them but they need someone like [Sadio] Mane and tighten their defence. - Cephas Okenwa

Congratulations to them but, if they play Ecuador like the way they did today, the result will not be the same. - Musa D. Mustapha

I watch them play and I'm proud that this is an African team. They play with confidence, they move the ball quickly, attack with intent. If the coach had just tried to secure a point against the Netherlands, they're sure of finishing top of the group. - Olanipekun Oladotun Adeleye

Thank you @FootballSenegal for keeping the African hope alive. Keep going. - @kizzabesigye1

They are the only Africa representative that I count on and put my money on in this tournament. Come on, show the world why you are the African champions. - Onah Best

Kudos to them, pride of Africa. Unlike some other teams that talk big mouth but do nothing with their feet. - Ehis Frank

Highly difficult to achieve at this point but Senegal must find a way of topping group A. You don’t want to meet England in the Round of 16. - @_owurakuampofo

They were the best team today. Even the first match they played well, they just missed their talisman (Sadio Mane) to break down the experienced Dutch defenders. Senegal are qualifying from this group. -David Onoja

They really showed they are champions of Africa. But they relaxed on their attacking force in the second half of the game. Kudos to [Edouard] Mendy on the nice saves. - Angel Okereke

More goals hoped for but Senegal disappointed with only three. - Kwesi Prince Jr

Congratulations but 3-1 wasn't enough for them, they should have scored more goals. - Alhagie Jawla

I was expecting them to thump Qatar five goals. We need a big goal margin. - Shahid Muller Fernandes

Other African countries should also learn how to win World Cup matches. - Amuna Vibu

Africa shine, Senegal will bring the World Cup in Africa. - Lee-roy Masombuka
