Senegal 1-0 Egypt [1-1 on agg, Senegal win 3-1 on pens]

Portuguese Carlos Queiroz is no longer coach of Egypt after their World Cup qualification bid ended in defeat to Senegal on Tuesday evening in Diamniadio.

The Pharaohs suffered yet another heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to Senegal, having also lost the final of the African Cup of Nations to the same opponent earlier this year. This time, the 3-1 defeat on penalties cost Queiroz and his side a place at Qatar 2022, and the veteran coach announced his departure in a press conference after the match.

Egypt 1-0 Senegal

Egypt are on the brink of returning to the World Cup after a narrow victory over African champions Senegal in the first leg of their play-off, and coach Carlos Queiroz was in confident mood after the match.

An early own goal by Saliou Ciss gives the Pharaohs the slenderest of advantages ahead of the return leg in Diamniadio on Tuesday. The nations meet just weeks after contesting the African Cup of Nations final, which Senegal won on penalties in Cameroon.

As Portugal prepare to contest the World Cup qualifying play-offs, Gonçalo Guedes and Diogo Jota are perhaps the two most in-form players in front of goal. Jota’s winner for Liverpool in the FA Cup this weekend was the perfect way to follow his strike at Arsenal in midweek, while Guedes continued the most lethal season of his career with a winner for Valencia at Elche.

Meanwhile, Francisco Trincão finally scored for the first time in the Premier League for Wolverhampton Wanderers in their entertaining defeat to Leeds United. In other goals, Tiago Tomás struck late to earn Stuttgart a memorable win in the Bundesliga and Bruma was on the mark for PSV in the Dutch Eredivisie.

Stuttgart 3-2 Augsburg

Portuguese youngster Tiago Tomás was the hero for VFB Stuttgart this weekend as the relegation battlers once again produced a remarkable turnaround to take all three points in the Bundesliga.

Stuttgart twice went behind at the Mercedes-Benz aren’t, and trailed 2-1 at half time. However, Omar Marmoush levelled with just over ten minutes remaining and Sporting loanee Tomás snatched a winner in the 85^th minute in a battle between two of the league’s survival hopefuls.
