This Papa Bouba Diop goal vs France (VIDEO BELOW) saw the Senegalese international score the opening goal of the 2002 World Cup. Diop scored this goal v France in the 30th minute of the game. It was one of the key reasons for Les Bleus failing to defend their crown in Korea and Japan in 2002. Effective assist for El Hadji Diouf.
France 0-1 Senegal (Pape Bouba Diop goal France 2002 World Cup), video credits S’Ble
Bouba Diop’s goal v France was also the first goal of the 2002 World Cup
Think it is Omar Daf who robs Djorkaeff off possession in midfield, then passes it to Diouf, who gets past Frank Leboeuf before delivering the pass to Bouba Diop.
Senegal celebration is fantastic too!
RIP champ!
