Ismaila Sarr was in fabulous touch this game. He shifted gears quite often and charged down the flank to add more to the attack. His pace coupled with sharpness had a massive impact on the outcomes of their attacks.
While building up for the first goal, it was his interchange of passes between Wague and Niang that led to the opening. Sarr’s touch and quick decision-making skill gave him an upper hand while he dribbled past opponent defenders. He was one of the main catalysts of Senegal’s counter-attacking threat, as he combined well with his teammates and tried to find passes quickly.
Also to add, the 20-year-old smartly entered the box in order to include a final product, whenever Wague exploited the wider areas and stretched Japan’s defence.
