Pape Bouba Diop -- who is 6-4, 190 pounds -- swept a pass from El Hadji Diour past French goalkeeper Fabien Barthez in the 29th minute to give Senegal a shocking 1-0 halftime advantage over the defending World Cup Champions.
At intermission, Senegal -- making its first appearance ever in the World Cup -- has outshot France 5-3, but all three Les Bleus shots were on goal, while just two shots for Senegal were actually on frame.
A telling statistic is that France has been pulled offsides seven times in the first half, so the front duo of David Trezeguet and Thierry Henry, as well as the attacking midfield presence of Sylvain Wiltord and Yourk Djorkaeff will need to make that adjustment in the second stanza to pull out at least a draw.
