Senegalese national team head coach Aliou Cisse urged his players to lift up their game following the defeat to the Netherlands on Monday, November 21.

The Terenga Lions held the European giants for 85 minute until Cody Gakpo and Davy Klaasen netted to hand the Dutch a 2-0 win.

Cisse says his attackers should come to the party as much depends on them.

"It was a challenging game... We need to work on it (scoring goals) with Ismaila and the others. We expect a lot from him and Krepin," Cisse stated in the post match presser.

"If we had won, we would have got off to the best way.... but now the second game can be difficult and we have to make sure we win it.

"The fact that we have lost will motivate us even more to be better prepared for next games."

Senegal will battle hosts, Qatar, on November 25 in a must win game before rounding up against Ecuador on November 29.
