England leads Senegal 2-0 after the first 45 minutes.
For much of the half, it was the Lions of Teranga who looked more dangerous.
Twenty minutes into the match, Senegal’s Ismailia Sarr got a great look at the goal but his shot sailed over.
Ten minutes later, an errant clearance by England’s defense led to another chance at the edge of the 6-yard box for Boulaye Dia. But England goalie Jordan Pickford made a huge save with his left arm to keep it even at nil-nil.
Then, in the 39th minute, Jude Bellingham squared a pass to Jordan Henderson in the box. Henderson deposited the ball in the back of the net.
Senegal desperately needed to get to halftime down just one goal. But Harry Kane had other ideas.
The England captain scored in first-half stoppage time to give the Three Lions a 2-0 lead at the half.
The winner of this match faces France next Saturday in the quarterfinals.
Earlier today, France defeated Poland, 3-1, in a match that featured two goals from French superstar Kylian Mbappé.
