After Senegal’s second consecutive defeat at the 2026 World Cup, Idrissa Gana Gueye did not hide his disappointment when speaking in the mixed zone but clings to the last hope.
Having lost 3-2 to Norway, the Lions of Teranga find themselves in a very complicated situation before their last group match.
The Lions’ midfielder acknowledged the difficulties his team has faced since the start of the competition. “Nothing is over yet, we still have one match left. It’s a pretty bad record for us. That’s how it is, that’s football. Now it’s up to us to rest and prepare well for the last match,” Gana Gueye told Fatima Sylla.
Despite this latest setback, the Everton player refuses to give up. With two defeats in as many matches, Senegal still retains a slim chance of qualifying, but must win their final game by several goals, while hoping to climb in the rankings of the best third-placed teams.
A reaction is now expected at the final meeting, which looks set to be decisive for Senegal’s future in this 2026 World Cup.
