Senegal are also first African team to qualify for the World Cup knockouts in this edition! Props to Ecuador, they played brilliantly throughout the campaign but could not create much today against Senegal!

FULL TIME: Ecuador 1-2 Senegal

SENEGAL QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP KNOCKOUTS FOR ONLY THEIR SECOND TIME IN HISTORY! FIRST TIME SINCE 2002!

90+5' Ecuador keep pushing with all the long balls they can get into the box but Senegal keep defending everything thrown at each other.

90+3' Ecuador have a corner swung in as they hunt for the elusive equaliser but to no avail as Senegal clear their lines for the time being.

90' Additional Time: 6 Minutes

87' Ecuador seem tired and out of ideas now. Senegal continue to have the ball with them and are at ease in the game. It is more likely that Senegal will get their third goal instead of Ecuador getting that equaliser.

85' Substitution for Ecuador: Jackson Porozo replaces Angelo Preciado.

81' CLOSE! Senegal almost have a third. Ecuadorian hearts beating fast as Boulaye Dia has a shot rocket past the Ecuadorian goal.

78' Senegal asking the questions of Ecuador as we near close in on the game. They get two corners in a row and are keeping the Ecuadorian defenders busy.

75' Substitution for Senegal: Cheikh Dieng replaces Iliman Ndiaye.

74' Substitution for Senegal: Nampalys Mendy replaces Pathe Ciss. 

70' GOAAAAL!!!!! SENEGAL!!!! 

Senegal get into the lead in no time! A set-piece into the box is not defended well by Ecuador as Koulibaly smashes it home like a striker in the crowd of players at the box. A clean strike, went in like a bullet!

68' GOAAAALL!!!!! ECUADORRRRR! 

Ecuador have a corner delivered, and the corner is not defended well. Senegal forget to mark Moises Caicedo who taps it home past Edouard Mendy, who is routed to his spot at the goal line. It is all square. Things in Group A change suddenly!

64' Substitution for Ecuador: Djorkaeff Reasco replaces Michael Estrada

62' Several fouls by both teams in the middle areas in an intense midfield battle. Ecuador trying their best to find a creative opening but Senegal are disciplined at the back.

56' Estupian's cross finds Estrada but the angle is tough and the header does not really muster to anything dreadful for Senegal.

55' Senegal happy to sit down and defend, and have no rush to build from the back. Ecuador have to look for more openings. Both teams highly patient so far, with an intriguing midfield battle going on.

51' Ecuador playing like how Senegal was dictating the terms of game in the first half but nothing eventful has happened in the second-half so far.

46' Substitution for Ecuador at half-time: Jeremy Sarmiento replaces Alan Franco.

46' Second-half kicks-off!

HALF TIME: Ecuador 0-1 Senegal

Ecuador could not really do much in the game so far as Senegal cruise away. The Africans had the useful possession and made use of the same, thanks to a penalty kick from the spot.

45+2' Terrific control by Ndiaye but he has his shot scuffed for a corner. Ecuador get the corner cleared away.

45' Additional Time: 6 Minutes

44' GOAAAAL!!!! SENEGAL!!!!!!

Ismaila Sarr puts Senegal ahead with a penalty in the right corner and the Senegal supporters and players go insane! A grand celebration of the goal follows as deserved! 

41' PENALTY! Senegal have a great chance to go ahead as Ismaila Sarr is brought down by Piero Hincapie inside the Ecuador box. Great chance to go ahead.

38' Close! Senegal play a quick phase of football and almost go through the Ecuador box but a final challenge on Illiman Ndiaye by Felix Torres saves the day for the South Americans!

35' A decent ball from distance finds Ismaila Ciss in the Ecuador box who heads it over the goal.

33' Enner Valencia is not impressed by Koulibaly's challenge on him as Ecuador try counter press Senegal.

Elsewhere, Netherlands take the lead against Qatar in a 1-0 win.

28' Reeking with impatience, Ismaila Sarr goes for a long ball into the box, hoping to find a Senegal striker but Ecuadorian recover.

26' It is Senegal with all the possession in the last few minutes but Ecuador's low block as not allowed them to breach the Ecuadorian defensive lines at all.

22' Estupian is back into play after what looked like a concern, but not anymore.

20' Pervis Estupian looks in trouble as he has injured his knee due to a challenge. 

18' Corner for Senegal. The corner is punched away by the Ecuadorian goalkeeper. Ecuador try to hit Senegal on counter but they are outnumbered eventually.

15' Senegal on the ascendency so far as they are getting closer with some hopeful attempts but Ecuador stay resilient.

12' Senegal looking good. Two half chances here for the Africans followed by an attempted curler by Iliman Ndiyae going wide.

9' Enner Valencia goes for the spectacular from distance following a free-kick, but the shot is blocked.

7' CHANCE! Boulaye Dia also comes to score but his shot skids off the surface and goes wide. Glorious chance for Senegal given he only had the keeper to beat here.

3' Senegal come close to scoring! Idrissa Gueye goes for the goal from outside the Ecuadorian box after the South Americans fail to defend a simple cross-in from the left.

2' Ecuador on the charge early in the game with some fruitful possession.

1' Kick-off here in Doha as Ecuador and Senegal kick-star their quest for the Round of 16!
