Mpasi vs Three Lions
Having started in goal for the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lionel Mpasi is preparing to take on a major challenge. From 18:00 the Leopards will take on England, one of the tournament favorites. The Le Havre goalkeeper should therefore be in high demand against the Three Lions’ attacking armada. A situation that is not alien to him. In the group stage, despite a narrow 0-1 defeat to Colombia, he excelled, making eight saves, including five in the first twenty minutes of the match. A performance unheard of since 1998 by Jamaican Warren Barrett against Argentina.

Diaw vs Red Devils
A few hours later, at 22:00, Mory Diao will, in turn, try to lead Senegal to the 1/8 finals. Taking advantage of the injury of regular Le Havre winner Edouard Mendy, the Sky and Navy goalkeeper scored the Teranga Lions’ goals on the occasion of the final day of the group stage, which ended in great success against Iraq (5-0).
