- Senegal dismantled 10-man Iraq 5-0 in their final Group I match at Toronto Stadium, with Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr each contributing a goal and an assist.
- The result leaves Senegal in contention for a last-32 spot via the back door as one of the top eight third-placed teams at the 2026 World Cup.
Why it matters: The 5-0 demolition — with Iraq reduced to 10 men — gives Senegal a realistic path into the knockout rounds despite not winning their group, a route only eight third-placed teams across the tournament will get. For Iraq, the loss and the red card compound a group-stage exit.
