England Vs. Senegal Live Stream: Watch World Cup Game
Having combined for the third goal, Foden and Saka were brought off together with 25 minutes to play, their jobs done, and England having overcome what could have been a tricky assignment. The pairing with Senegal was only the second time that England had met an African opponent in the knockout stages of the World Cup. The last time, against Cameroon in 1990, was a very different affair and one England was fortunate to navigate, requiring an extra-time penalty by Gary Lineker to escape with a hard-fought 3-2 victory.

There was no chance of requiring extra time in Al Bayt Stadium, or of England’s having to fight particularly hard to overcome Senegal in a second half that resembled an exhibition game in its latter stages, the crowd entertaining itself, performing a wave at one point. For all the struggles of its players on the field, Senegal’s traveling supporters kept up a constant percussive beat to accompany the team, a backdrop that has become a hallmark of the tournament and will be missed with Senegal’s exit.
With just under 25 minutes left to play, the assistant referee raised his board, signaling it was time for Bellingham to take his leave. Without much fuss, Bellingham looked up, applause ringing around the stadium, and jogged off.

Molly Darlington/ReutersDec. 4, 2022, 1:38 p. ET Tariq PanjaReporting from QatarAl Bayt Stadium is mostly empty just 30 minutes before kickoff, not a great surprise given that this has been the scene at many games during this most curious of World Cups. The stadiums do, somehow, get full in the final minutes before the referee blows the whistle. A real mystery. One thing the fans are not doing right now is having a drink: Beer, let’s remember, was pulled from the stadiums just 48 hours before the first game of the tournament. 4, 2022, 1:31 p.

ET Tariq PanjaReporting from QatarEngland is without two members of its roster for this game. Defender Ben White has returned to England for a personal matter and will not return. Raheem Sterling has also been ruled out for what has been described as a “personal matter. ” It is unclear whether Sterling, a veteran forward for the national team, will continue with the team in Qatar.
Senegal appeared the more dangerous of the two teams, forcing England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford into one reflex save and generally causing jitters in the back line. But it was still clear that Senegal was missing the presence of its captain and inspirational striker, Sadio Mané, its only world-class forward. While the chances came, Senegal’s forwards failed to take advantage of them.

For England, the victory is another hurdle cleared in its now six-decade quest to replicate its sole World Cup triumph of 1966. The serenity of its progress will boost confidence that Southgate’s team — semifinalists four years ago in Russia — might be in contention for the biggest prize in two weeks.
