EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey, June ⁠23 (Reuters) - Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly owned up to key mistakes in his side’s ⁠World Cup group-stage loss to Norway on Monday that left the African ‌side in danger of early elimination.

Koulibaly’s slips allowed Norway to win 3-2 and book their place in the next round along with France, while Senegal, who before the tournament had been touted as strong outsiders, ​have yet to pick up any points and must ⁠win their match against Iraq in ⁠Toronto on Friday if they are to have any chance of being one of ⁠the ‌best third-placed finishers.
