2025-06-11 | Game Summary

In an International Friendly held on June 10, 2025, at The City Ground in Nottingham, England, Senegal delivered a surprising 3-1 victory over England. The AI pre-game prediction favoured England with a 51.9% win probability, making Senegal's win an upset. The game saw England, playing in a 4-4-2 formation, take an early lead through Harry Kane in the 7th minute. However, Senegal, employing a 4-3-3 setup, responded strongly with goals from Ismaïla Sarr in the 40th minute, Habib Diarra in the 62nd minute, and Cheick Tidiane Sabaly in stoppage time (90+3').
Despite England maintaining a significant possession advantage (60.7% vs. Senegal's 39.3%), Senegal proved more clinical in front of goal. They registered 11 total shots with an impressive 9 on target, forcing 6 saves from the English goalkeeper. In contrast, England managed just 8 shots, with only 4 testing the Senegal defense. The fouls committed reflected a more physical approach from Senegal (18 fouls) compared to England (12 fouls).
England's recent form prior to this match was strong, with a string of victories in FIFA World Cup Qualifying and UEFA Nations League matches. This included wins against Andorra (1-0), Latvia (3-0), Albania (2-0), Republic of Ireland (5-0), and Greece (3-0), all without conceding a red card. However, this friendly defeat marks a significant setback and raises questions about their tactical flexibility against well-organized opposition.
Senegal, on the other hand, had a mixed run of form leading up to this game. Their previous friendly against the Republic of Ireland ended in a 1-1 draw. They also secured a 2-0 victory over Togo in FIFA World Cup Qualifying, along with two draws against Sudan (0-0) and Liberia (1-1). This victory against England will undoubtedly boost their confidence and demonstrates their ability to perform against higher-ranked teams.
Looking at the previous head-to-head, England had won 3-0 in their 2022 FIFA World Cup encounter. This result further emphasizes the unexpected nature of Senegal's victory in this friendly. It suggests Senegal has made significant progress since their last encounter, while England may have become complacent or experimented with tactics that didn't work. The loss exposed England's defensive vulnerabilities and Senegal's clinical finishing ability. Senegal's upcoming matches will be closely watched to see if they can maintain this level of performance, while England will need to address their shortcomings to avoid similar upsets in the future. This game highlights the unpredictable nature of football, especially in friendly matches where teams often experiment with different strategies and player combinations.
