Senegal hammered Iraq 5-0 in a Group Stage match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on June 26, giving the Lions of Teranga a strong push toward the knockout round.
Forward Pape Gueye contributed two of the five goals, netting that third and fifth strikes as Iraq played with ten men following a red card, and his performance helped cement Senegal’s record-setting win; the result also marked the team’s biggest margin of victory in a World Cup finals match in that tournament.
