FIFA has officially attributed the first goal in Senegal’s 5-0 victory over Iraq in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers to Habib Diarra, overturning the initial credit given to Abdoulaye Seck. The goal, scored in the 4th minute from a corner kick taken by Lamine Camara, was initially believed to be a header from Seck. However, FIFA’s review determined the ball was deflected and ultimately touched by Diarra before crossing the goal line. This marks Diarra’s first World Cup goal, while Seck’s contribution is now recognized as a decisive assist. The decision alters the official match record of the dominant Senegal performance. Senegal’s win against Iraq is crucial for their qualification hopes in the tournament’s group stage. The match showcased Senegal’s physical and technical superiority throughout.
