Poland vs Senegal LIVE World Cup 2018: Latest score, goals, updates from Moscow

Follow all the latest news from the second Group H match in Russia

World Cup Opening Ceremony

Cristiano Ronaldo set the World Cup alight with his hat-trick against Spain and Lionel Messi made headlines with his penalty miss, but there is one more striker whose goals could be on everyone’s lips: Robert Lewandowski.

The Bayern Munich forward has scored 49 goals for club and country over the last year and will be eager to get off the mark against Senegal in Poland’s opening Group H game.

Former Birmingham and Portsmouth player Aliou Cisse is managing a Senegal side not short on quality. Sadio Mane and Idrassa Gueye have had good seasons for Liverpool and Everton, while Diao Balde Keita has been a steady goal scorer for Monaco.

Neither side were at the 2014 World Cup, but both will be very keen to get a positive result to give them a chance of qualifying from their group ahead of Columbia and Japan.
