The Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals continue, with top favourites Senegal taking on Cape Verde. In the first half, Mane's shot hit the upright and Andrad stamped red for a stampede. In the second half, Wozziña received another red card, Mane world wave scored, Dion sealed the victory in 92 minutes, and Senegal advanced 2-0.
According to fifa rankings, Senegal is currently ranked 20th in the world and no. 1 in Africa, with big stars such as Mane, Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy and Pape-Gaie, with an overall value of 343 million euros. Before the Start of the Africa Cup of Nations, Senegal's odds of winning the title were 1-to-5 and were considered the number one favourites.
However, Senegal scored only one goal in the group stage, and it was still a penalty, and it was a miracle that they reached the round of 16 first in the group. Against Cape Verde, Senegal had an overwhelming advantage, with 64%-36% possession, 16-2 shots on goal and 4-1 on target!
Just 20 minutes into the first half, Andrade stomped pap-Geiye's ankle and at first the referee showed him a yellow card, but after watching VAR, he was awarded a red card, Cape Verde 10 to 11! In the 57th minute, a similar plot was staged again, with Cape Verde goalkeeper Wozinha abandoning the goal and knocking over Mane outside the penalty area, the same yellow card turned red card, and Cape Verde was sent off by 2 people.
In the 64th minute, Senegal won a corner kick, Pap-Guye's cross was chaotic in front of the goal, Mane stopped the ball and then took advantage of the right foot to hang and hit the bottom of the crossbar into the net, 1-0! Despite the collective complaints of the Cape Verde players, VAR upheld the original sentence and Mr. 80 million made a contribution.
In the 92nd minute, Senegal played a quick counter-attack, Diyedou selfless cross, Dion easily pushed the empty goal to win, 2-0 to seal the win. After 95 minutes of fighting, the fierce match finally came to an end, and Senegal advanced to the quarter-finals.
This 2-0 game, let Senegal continue unbeaten, the last 5 times against Cape Verde to maintain a full victory, and all keep a clean sheet, the goal is 9-0, can be said to be the opponent's number one nemesis.
However, due to the opponent's tactical foul, Mane developed dizziness and nosebleeds, and Senegal had no choice but to replace him.
Seeing this scene, the most unhappy estimate is Liverpool and Klopp. Just before the Africa Cup of Nations began, Liverpool were worried about injuries to Mane, Salah and Keita, which would affect the team's performance in the Premier League, champions league and even domestic cup matches.
Now I am afraid of what is coming, if Mane has any problems because of this, the Premier League giants are really dumb and eat yellow, and there is bitterness that cannot be said.
