Senegal tied Denmark one to one with a gritty display at the Taegu World Cup Stadium Thursday.

Denmark opened the scoring with a 14th minute spot kick from Tomasson after Senegal mid-fielder Salif Diao was penalized for a foul inside the box. The Africans, however, were the stronger side as the game wore on in suffocating 33 degree celcius heat.

Coming into the second half, the Senegalese put the Danes under severe pressure immediately, and equalized in the 52nd minute when Diao picked up the ball from Khalilou Fadiga and drove it straight past Sorensen.

Meanwhile, Cameroon beat Saudi Arabia by one to nothing in Group E.
Samuel Eto slid home the winner, in the 66th minute in front of over 50,000, to move the African and Olympic champions into second place with four points.

In the last game, held in Pusan tonight, France and Uruguay fought to a bloody zero-zero deadlock in their Group A match. Without Zinedine again, and under-manned for most of the game due to a foul by striker Thierry Henry, France is just barely keeping their second round hopes alive. They will face group leaders Denmark on Tuesday, and Uruguay will play Senegal on the same day.
