The conditions seem ideal for Senegal in this third-round match of theGroup A of the World Cup.The Lions of Teranga are ahead at the break, while Iraq is down to ten men.

From a perfectly executed corner by Lamine Camara, Abdoulaye Seck outjumped everyone to power home an unstoppable header. A goal in the fourth minute. Senegal starts strong.

Later on, Rebin Sulaka was sent off after denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity. The defender illegally stopped star Sadio Mané as he was racing toward Basel's goal.
But Pap Tiaw's men are still facing a rock-solid Iraqi defense.
