France and Senegal began their World Cup campaigns with a high-profile Group I meeting at New York New Jersey Stadium.
France started with an attacking line led by Kylian Mbappe, supported by Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and Desire Doue, while William Saliba was included in central defence after recent fitness concerns.
Senegal relied on Kalidou Koulibaly's defensive leadership, Lamine Camara's midfield energy and the attacking pace of Sadio Mane, Ismaila Sarr and Nicolas Jackson.
The fixture carries extra historical weight because it recalls Senegal's famous victory over France in the opening match of the 2002 World Cup.
