Senegal have reached the quarter finals of the Under-20 World Cup, after a dramatic penalty shoot out victory over Ukraine tonight.
Senegal prevailed 3-1 on spot kicks, after the match had ended 1-1 after extra time.
The African side will face either Austria or Uzbekistan in the last eight on Sunday.
Ukraine came into this match with the meanest defence in the tournament, the only team to have kept three clean sheets during the group phase.
That showed early, as Ukraine dominated possession and territory, with Senegal limited to occasional counter attacks.
However, once Senegal settled it became an even contest, with some entertaining football. The only thing missing was a goal, partly due to the inaccuracy of the final pass but often down to good defending.
