Senegal coach Bruno Metsu said his side's 2-1 victory over Sweden on Sunday was not luck, but rather the birth of a great team.

Bruno Metsu"It was a completely mad game and I am very happy," Metsu said, after leading his side into the World Cup quarter-finals.

"It's not luck, we're seeing the birth of a great team.

"It was a very beautiful match," he added. "We made a difficult start by conceding an early goal but Sweden are a very strong team and Argentina and England both broke their teeth on them.

"After our equaliser we settled down. I am thinking about the Swedes; losing like that must be tough. They are a very rigorous side but they didn't think of just defending."
