Mendy, Koulibaly pick up Africa's first win at Qatar World Cup – Drogba reacts

Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly were on the winning side as Senegal secured a 3-1 against Qatar at the World Cup earlier.

Mendy performed better on the day making two good saves and one high claim. He also won 100% of his aerial duels. But the Chelsea goalie ultimately failed to keep a clean sheet.

That takes nothing away from the fact that this is the first win by an African team at the World Cup so far.

"It's a pity that Senegal conceded a goal, but this is the best performance so far in Qatar [by Africa], final score 3-1," Chelsea legend Didier Drogba reacted to the win via Twitter.

Up next for Senegal is a game against Ecuador. A win would see the West Africans safely to the last 16.
