Kalidou Koulibaly’s nerveless volley sent Senegal into the World Cup’s knockout rounds for only the second time in their history as they eliminated Ecuador at a boisterous Khalifa International Stadium.
All three goals were scored by English-based players; Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo of Brighton canceled out a penalty by Watford’s Ismaila Sarr, and then Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly won it with a side-footed strike.
