Senegal coach Aliou Cisse has called for the need to work on a better approach if they are to qualify out of the Group.
Senegal ran out 3-1 winners against Qatar but the game did have it’s nervous moments for the African Champions.
“We have to think about the appropriate approach to the last match. We need to win to have a chance to qualify for the last 16,” Cisse told a news conference.
“Our concentration must be better as we could have avoided the goal that we conceded (against Qatar), but the Ecuador match will be different.”
Cisse indicated that his team could have finished the match with a bigger margin.
“We started the second half well, went 2-0 up and then struggled a bit as Qatar was more aggressive and reduced the gap.
“But once again we were better in transition and we managed to score the decisive third goal.”
“The team did what I asked for. Teamwork is the basis. Yes, it is difficult to replace Sadio Mane, but in the end, this is a team sport,” he said.
Senegal will face Ecuador in the last match and will have to win to guarantee a spot in the knock out stages.
