The Lions of Teranga punched their ticket to the Last 16 after a 2-1 victory over Ecuador at the Khalifa International Stadium.

from the African nation’s capital Dakar showed Senegalese supporters erupting after the final whistle.

Fans watched their country’s clash with Gustavo Alfaro’s men from a giant screen outdoors and let out a huge roar at full-time.

They all then started singing and dancing on the streets while kids were shown hopping around in jubilation.

Another clip showed fans driving on the streets in Qatar with Senegalese flags and then joining up with others to celebrate.

Senegal made it out of Group A alongside table toppers Netherlands, who beat hosts Qatar 2-0 thanks to goals by Cody Gakpo and Frenkie de Jong.

Aliou Cisse’s men managed to make it to the knockout stages without star man Sadio Mane, who was sidelined just before their World Cup opener due to a knee injury.

Senegal did it in rather dramatic fashion against Ecuador, who temporarily equalised on 67 minutes with Brighton’s Moises Caicedo who cancelled out Watford’ Ismaila Sarr’s opener.

But Chelsea’s Kalidou Koulibaly sealed the crucial three points just three minutes after Caicedo’s equaliser.
