Since it is the Winter World Cup.

The World Cup in Qatar has a tight schedule.

This has also led some national team managers to express their dissatisfaction with the schedule.

On the second day of Christmas.

Boxing Day.

The World Cup sixteen into eight knockout rounds will start first.

Senegal and Iran, the two are equal.

One is the Africa Cup of Nations winner and the other is the Asian powerhouse.

The game was extremely intense.

Thanks to Mane's goal, Senegal took the lead before half-time.

But in the second half, Jahanbakhsh and Taremi scored two goals in a row.

Among them, the goal that overtook the score, Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard. Mendy has an unshirkable responsibility.

The Chelsea goalkeeper also suffered the first slump of this World Cup.

Fortunately, in injury time in the second half, veteran Gueye came off the bench and contributed a world tie.

The first overtime game of this World Cup is coming.

It just so happened that at the Komba base, the players did not choose to participate in the Boxing Day celebration after completing today's training.

In previous years, teams have welcomed the Premier League's unique Christmas fixtures on Boxing Day.

Therefore, they have become accustomed to not having a holiday for Christmas.

After knowing that the goalkeeper's country is in extra time, everyone also wanted to see Mendy's good performance.

Sure enough, both sides failed in extra time, and the two teams entered a penalty shootout.

"Hopefully Mendy can play a decisive role like the Africa Cup of Nations final."

Last season, Mendy played on penalties in the FA Cup final at the club.

But bad luck, although he saved Mane's penalty, Mount's penalty was also saved by Allison.

As a result, the team lost the championship.

At this point, Mendy stood in front of the penalty spot, eager to become a national hero.

The last time Senegal reached the last eight of the World Cup was in 2002.

It was also the only year in which China participated in the World Cup.

"Great, Mendy is so handsome!"

It is unimaginable that Iran's first penalty was easily saved by Mendy.

The Senegalese, who is tall and legged, saved Taremi's shot.

It's also a kind of atonement for your regular game time.

Next, both sides scored a steady penalty.

Senegal's fifth penalty player is Mane.

If he can score the ball, he can send the team to the quarterfinals.

He did not disappoint, after finishing the goal.

The Chelsea players in front of the screen are also happy for them.

And just like that, in the first match of Boxing Day, Senegal advanced.

......

An hour after the match, two knockout matches began at the same time.

This is also the first time in the history of the World Cup, and in previous years, the knockout matches were staggered for fans to enjoy.

Argentina, first in Group C, faces Denmark, and France, first in Group D, faces Mexico.

After discussion, the game projection was decisively set as the second game.

They don't want to see Lionel Messi, but want to support their club teammates Ngoro and Conde.

France coach Deschamps did not disappoint the fans.

Both players who played for Chelsea started the game.

Ngoro will be in midfield, partnering Rabiot and Joan Armeni.

Pogba was on the bench due to his injury.

Mexico has always been a mysterious team.

There are not too many big stars in the team, but in every World Cup, they can achieve good results.

In the group stage, they beat Poland, led by Lewandowski, to overtake in the final round of corners and reach the round of 16.

'Mbappe is really good, if he continues with this momentum, he will get the World Cup Golden Boot.'

Shortly after the opening period, the French striker scored through the gate guarded by Ochoa.

European teams got off to a fantastic start.

......

Coincidentally, the latest news also came from another venue.

Tuchel's prophecy was fulfilled.

Denmark's former Chelsea player Andreas Christensen accidentally pushed the ball into his own goal while defending a corner.

Today, Chelsea don't have Danish players in the squad and everyone is disgusted by the former No.4 defender a few months ago.

After knowing that this man was out of the blue, everyone was even happier than seeing Ngoro complete the assist.

......

Conde also performed well, defending a threatening attack by Mexico's Pineda.

After all, North American teams are not soft persimmons.

Their world ranking is even higher than some European powerhouses.

In the 39th minute, France's Rabiot made a mistake and was shown a yellow card by the referee after a tackle foul.

Veteran Domínguez of the Blue Cross scored with a header to equalise the scoreline.

Originally, fans would have thought that France would win by a big win.

But they miscalculated.

The broadcast camera focused on Ngolo, Benzema and Varane.

Their expressions are not good.

But Mexico thundered after equalising.

In the stands, North American fans from afar performed local dances.

......

Is there really a bad luck in the defending champions?

Shortly after Benzema's header was popped off the post, Mbappe fired the ball over the crossbar again.

Within seconds, two consecutive hits at the post, and the two French striker superstars were furious.

Deschamps made adjustments, Ngoro and Lucas. Hernandez came off and Te'o and Gondozzi came off the bench.

"Deschamps is crazy! It was Joan Armeni who should be playing, why replaced Ngoro? Hudson-Odoi on the side shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Yes, I see that Ngoro is in good shape, his coverage area is much stronger than Real Madrid's back." Qin Xi also agreed with Hudson-Odoi's view.

Jorginho didn't say a word, he knew Ngoro and knew his mood at this time.

Sure enough, when the camera focused on Chelsea's back and went down, everyone could clearly see that he was still smiling.

That's what makes Ngoro special.

The group sitting in the viewing room put down their VR glasses and couldn't help but applaud their teammates in Asia.

......

On another field, Denmark has been crushed by Argentina's blows.

It is unimaginable that the World Cup sixteen to eight match, in the 67th minute, has a score of 4:0.

Argentina's advantage is lopsided.

Although Messi did not score, he provided two assists and was immediately substituted.

Lautaro. Martinez scored twice, with Joaquín Correa and substitute Dybala each scoring one.

.......

"It's over, Ngoro and Conde have to go home too."

In the 84th minute of the second half, after witnessing a semi-successful shot by Mexican winger Corona.

Everyone in the viewing room couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't understand! Why exchange for Ngolo? "
