 | | Ilhan Mansiz, a 26-year-old striker from Besiktas who once played for Germany's under-19 team, came on for an out-of-sorts Hakan Sukur 23 minutes from the end of what was looking increasingly likely to become a goalless draw. |
 | | When scheduled time left both sides drained, Ilhan still had the legs and the sharpness to hurt Senegal around the edges of their back four, which had done so splendidly to keep them in the game all night. |
 | | Picking up a cross from the right by Umit Davala, Ilhan, in space and with the referee playing advantage after a foul by Omar Daf in the build up, swivelled and hit a first-time half-volley with calm precision past goalkeeper Tony Sylva for a score that ended one dream and started another. |
