Senegal national team head coach Aliou Cissé congratulated the fans for World Cup qualification while thanking them for continuous support.
The Lions of Teranga have advanced to the World Cup for the third time in their history after beating Egypt in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw on aggregate.
The shootout saw Mohamed Salah, Ahmed Sayed Zizo, and Mostafa Mohamed all miss from the spot, for Senegal to come out on top 3-1.
Senegalese manager Aliou Cissé thanked the fans after the game, believing they made the difference in the second-leg clash.
“I want to congratulate everyone on the World Cup qualification,” Cissé said.
“I would have visited every fan who supported us to thank them if I could.
“Everyone was united, I want to thank the people who built this stadium and the journalists who criticized us, they were all a part of our success.”
