The Teranga Lions of Senegal have broken the jinx plaguing African teams at the ongoing World Cup in Russia as they beat Poland 2-1 on Tuesday to record the first win by a team from the continent.

Senegal became the third African country to qualify for the 2018 World Cup by defeating South Africa 2-0 on Friday.

The victory gives Senegal an insurmountable five-point lead atop CAF qualifying Group D, ensuring their place in Russia alongside already-qualified Egypt and Nigeria.

The result eliminates South Africa as well as Burkina Faso and Cape Verde, while Senegal qualify for their first finals since 2002 and will appear at the global showpiece tournament for just the second time in their history after an early strike from Diafra Sakho and an unfortunate own goal from Thamsanqa Mkhize.

The match was a replay of the original November 2016 fixture that was won 2-1 by South Africa, a result that was later annulled by FIFA after Ghana referee Joseph Lamptey was found guilty of manipulating the result of the match.

After a bright opening from the hosts, it was an incisive piece of passing that put Senegal in the lead on 12 minutes.

Sadio Mane found some space on the right and his defence-splitting ball was perfect for Sakho to slide the ball past the masked Itumeleng Khune in the Bafana goal.

The home side might have equalised midway through the first half when Themba Zwane's shot was only parried by Senegal keeper Khadim N'Diaye, and Percy Tau turned home the rebound.

Bafana came even closer a few minutes later when Mkhize's low cross into the box was met by Lebogang Manyama, whose shot cannoned off the crossbar with N'Diaye well beaten.

They were applying constant pressure to the Senegal goal through this period, but the visitors doubled their advantage with a sucker-punch.

Mane failed to get a solid connection on his shot from eight yards that was saved by Khune, but the ball deflected off the back of Mkhize and dribbled into the Bafana net.

Manyama had a free-kick that provided a nervous moment for N'Diaye late in the first half, but the keeper made the save in the top corner of his net.

Sibusiso Vilakazi had the first opening of the second period, but his snap-shot was straight at N'Diaye when a yard either side of the keeper would likely have resulted in a goal.

Bafana's second-most capped player Siphiwe Tshabalala was handed an 89th cap for the final 20 minutes almost four years, but Bafana's World Cup dream had long faded by the time Dean Furman flashed a late 35-yard drive wide.

The teams will meet in the final match in the pool in Dakar on Tuesday in what is now a dead rubber.

In most team sports, two uniforms adequately differentiate the teams. But soccer includes a wrinkle: because goalkeepers can use their hands in the penalty box, they must be uniquely identifiable at a glance to remain protected from physical challenges when in possession of the ball. So each team’s goalkeeper wears their own unique uniform.

Taking into account all of the factors – jerseys, shorts, socks, home and away versions, referees, and accessibility concerns about visibility on TV screens around the world – you’ve got a real color management situation on your hands. Everyone involved (or watching) must effortlessly keep track of 5 unique uniforms at any given moment.

Nothing makes this clearer than the every-four-years spectacle of the World Cup, when the multitude of nations’ colors and imagery allow us to witness so many combinations in such a compressed timeframe.

How does this work out in the real-world context of international competition? We found no definitive source. There are photographs of all the jerseys, an entertaining conversation about jersey fashion, and even consequences for unapproved uniform variations, but nothing shows the uniforms performing their ultimate purpose.

So we took on the challenge: 32 teams; 64 matches; 128 uniform combinations. Below you will find all the uniforms worn during the 2018 World Cup. Thanks to Linda and Troy for help with the links and to Martin for discussing the finer points of uniform theory and the occasional rule clarification while watching the World Cup this summer.
