Senegal's World Cup in 2018 was a strange one. In fact, it had an all-time first for the tournament as a whole. 

Things started so well for the west African nation when they beat Poland 2-1 in their opening fixture, hours after Japan had beaten Colombia by the same scoreline. When these two sides met in the second fixture, there was nothing between them, with the Lions of Teranga twice taking the lead over the Blue Samurai and twice being pegged back.

It all boiled down to the final group game as to who would go through. Senegal lost to the group winners, Colombia, 1-0… while at exactly the same time, Poland, who were bottom of the group, beat Japan by the same scoreline. Both Senegal and Japan had won, drawn and lost in that order. Both had scored four, both had conceded four.

They couldn't even be split from the result against one another, since it was a 2-2 draw. In the end, Senegal went out of the competition on fair play. This morning, however, we're asking you to name the players who competed in that draw for the Senegalese.
