Aliou Cissé’s Senegal national team is now the only and first African team and coach to defeat England’s men’s side in football.
They stretched their unbeaten record to 24 after defeating England (3-1) in a friendly match at the City Ground on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, with goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Cheikh Sabaly.
England’s loss to “The Lions of Teranga” includes a disallowed goal from Jude Bellingham due to a handball in the buildup. England and Senegal have only met once since the birth of football.
The two sides last met in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, with England winning comfortably (3-0).
During recent encounter, The “Three Lions” took the lead when Harry Kane broke the deadlock in the seventh minute after Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy spilled the ball into his path.
The hosts conceded for the first time under Tuchel when Sarr caught Kyle Walker napping to poke in Nicolas Jackson’s cross in the 40th minute.
The visitors doubled their lead in the 62nd when Diarra fired through goalkeeper Dean Henderson’s legs. Sabaly struck deep into stoppage time, prompting boos from England fans after the final whistle.
Senegal beaten England for the first time in an historic victory demonstrate why the current squad has emerged as a contender in the AFCON event in recent years.
Congratulations to them for making African teams and its continent proud with such a huge milestone and unprecedented record.
