Pape Gueye tried to add one more goal late, but Hassan got down to smother the shot safely in the 90+2 minute. Senegal were already 5-0 up on Iraq, and the move summed up the gap in control by the end of the World Cup 2026 live report.
Pape Gueye and Hassan
The attempt came from distance, not from a crowded scramble. Gueye took the shot in stoppage time, and Hassan handled it cleanly before Senegal could stretch the scoreline again.
That sequence left the score unchanged at 5-0. Jackson, I Ndiaye and Doski were among the other names in the match, but the late moment belonged to Gueye’s strike and Hassan’s save.
Senegal’s 5-0 cushion
By the time Gueye shot, Senegal had already done the damage. Late in the match, the 5-0 margin meant Iraq were trying to survive the final minutes rather than chase the game.
Opta put Senegal’s chances of progressing to the last 32 at 94.27%, a number that fits the state of the match: one side pressing for more, the other already beaten. The report also said England was Senegal’s most likely next-round opponent, which gives the result immediate knockout-round context.
Which P Gueye
The report names him only as P Gueye, so the story hangs on the action itself: a shot from distance at 90+2, saved, with Senegal still protecting a 5-0 lead. For readers following the live report, the important part is the late chance that did not change the score and the tournament path that now points toward England.
