Senegal's Wagué makes African history in World Cup
Moussa Wagué and Keisuke Honda etched their names into the World Cup history books in Senegal's thrilling draw with Japan.

Moussa Wagué became the youngest African goalscorer in World Cup history after his strike in Senegal's 2-2 draw against Japan on Sunday.
Beats record set by Ghana's Haminu at Germany 2006
Right-back Wagué, 19 years and 263 days old, drilled into the roof of the net to give Aliou Cisse's side a 2-1 lead in the 71st minute in Ekaterinburg.
He beat the record set by Draman Haminu, who, at 20 years and 82 days old, scored for Ghana against United States in 2006.
