Senegal 1-0 France — South Korea/Japan 2002
Senegal beat defending champions France 1-0. France eliminated without scoring a goal.
Senegal's 1-0 win over France in the 2002 World Cup opener is the ultimate colonial football revenge story. Papa Bouba Diop's 30th-minute goal toppled the reigning world and European champions, a team loaded with stars like Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry, and Patrick Vieira. Senegal featured 19 players from French leagues, defeating the nation that once ruled them.
