Senegal head coach Aliou Cissé urged his attackers to be more clinical in front of goal after they lost 2-0 to the Netherlands in their opening match of the World Cup at Al Thumama Stadium on Monday.
Senegal, who are without injured striker Sadio Mané at the tournament, are third above hosts Qatar, who were beaten 2-0 by group leaders Ecuador in the tournament opener.
“We are disappointed to have not scored, we had two or three very good chances,” Cisse told reporters. “We needed to be more effective in front of goal. “It was a challenging game. We need to work on it [scoring goals] with Ismaila and the others. We expect a lot from him and Krepin.”
