Senegal had the support of the whole of Africa behind them but that must not have been enough as they lost 1-0 to Colombia thanks to a header by Yerry Mina.
Senegal’s exit means that no African team will make it past the group stages of the Russia 2018 world cup.
Senegal finished level with Japan at 4 points each but Japan go through to the last due to Fifa Fair Play rule after receiving 3 yellow cards while Senegal received 6.
Other African countries that have seen an early exit at the World Cup of 2018 include Egypt, Tunisia, Nigeria, and Morrocco.
