Japan forward Jun Nishikawa scored late to hand Senegal a 1-0 defeat at the Fifa Under-17 World Cup in a Group D match at Estadio Kleber Jose de Andrade in Cariacica, Brazil on Saturday.
It was Senegal’s first loss of the tournament after a 4-1 routing of the United States of America and a 3-1 win over the Netherlands in their other group games.
Saturday’s result did not count much to Senegal’s disadvantage after they had already booked a spot in the knockout round of the tournament with one group game to spare.
