England and Senegal play tonight (8:00 p.m., on TVE and Gol Mundial) a place in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar 2022. Gareth Southgate's team finished the group stage first without losing any game, but the mood has risen slightly lowered from their formidable debut with a win against Iran (6-2) after the match against the United States (0-0) left some doubts about the Three Lions' game.
Senegal, the African champions, intends to surprise after earning their place in the qualifiers by beating Ecuador in the last game.
Despite the fact that they cannot count on their benchmark, the injured Sadio Mané, they have proven to be a difficult team to beat and tonight they are looking to sneak into the quarterfinals for the second time in their history.

looking to make history
Senegal has only qualified once for the quarterfinals of a World Cup, in Korea and Japan in 2002. This year, they have overcome a group stage in which many did not put them in the pools and the illusion of the country is through the roof .
Despite England being undoubtedly the favourites, the Africans want to surprise again and make history.
This is how the fans have come to the stadium to cheer on their team:

The leaders of each team
Rashford, with three goals, is England's leading scorer, but will wait on the bench for his chance to add to his tally.
The Manchester United forward is also the one who has attempted the most shots of the two teams.
In Senegal, Edouard Mendy's six stops stand out, twice as many as Pickford.

Soccer World Cup
Rashford wants to go back to penalties
David Alvarez
The World Cup has entered extra-time territory, and in England's camp at Al Wakrah, south of Doha, there is a footballer who awaits them expectantly, and with the rare hope that one will end up leading to penalties.
Marcus Rashford does not see the tiebreakers as torture, or as a lottery, but as an opportunity for redemption: "They are great moments with which I have always been comfortable," he has said these days.
"Hopefully we have another penalty in the tournament.
I'm waiting for it".

Sterling, last minute drop
The English team has announced that the Chelsea winger will not play the game to attend to family issues.
Let's hope it's nothing and that, if his team reaches the round of 16, he can be available for the duel against France.

This is how the teams arrive
England is one of the few teams to finish the group stage unbeaten.
In addition, those from Southgate are, along with Spain, the highest scoring team in the tournament.
For their part, Senegal found solidity after losing to the Netherlands in the first game, but sometimes they sin too hard.
