The national team of Ecuador, if not sensationally, then quite unexpectedly powerfully qualified for the World Championship from South America, which automatically led to the fact that the tricolors were considered clear contenders for leaving the group. The team of Gustavo Alfaro fully justified this status in the opening match of the World Cup, beating the hosts in the person of Qatar 2:0. In the second round, the Ecuadorians played with the Netherlands and conceded an optional goal already in the first minutes. However, the missed goal did not lead to serious consequences. The team turned out to be ready for such a development of events and found the strength to answer and keep a 1:1 draw, thanks to which it came to the last round on the second line in the group.
The Senegal national team lost its main star in the person of Sadio Mane before the start of the World Cup. This loss seriously affected the attacking potential of the Teranga Lions. In the first round, the Senegalese gave battle to the Netherlands, but it was the lack of a player capable of converting one of the few chances that led to a 0:2 defeat by the Orange, who were as effective as possible in the implementation.
