Head coach of Senegal's team Aliou Cisse commented on the defeat of Colombia (0: 1) in the match of the third round of the group stage of the 2018 World Cup and the subsequent departure of his team from the tournament.

"I'm very proud of my team and the work done, but we did not go to the playoffs because we did not deserve it." Fair play is one of the rules, it's set by the rules of the tournament, and we need to respect it. would prefer to fly out of the tournament in a different way, but it turned out that everyone knew about the regulations.

I think we could score in the first half and generally well controlled the match. I just feel sorry for the team, this generation and the players who fought every day for our country. I will continue to support them and be with them. I think in the future we can expect a lot of good from them ", - quotes the website of FIFA.

Recall that in group H there was a situation that two teams (Senegal and Japan) had absolutely identical game indicators. As a result, the Asian team played in the play-off on the fair-play indicators.
