The Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals continue, with Cape Verde against Senegal. Mane and Dion scored two goals in the second half as Senegal advanced to the quarter-finals. However, during the game, the Cape Verde players repeatedly committed fouls, which caused great controversy.
Cape Verde is ranked 73rd in the world and the team is worth only 22 million euros. Senegal is the first in Africa, and the total value of the team is close to 350 million. You know, the top mane is worth 80 million euros, which is enough to crush the opponent's entire team, so the gap between the two sides is relatively large.
In the whole game, Senegal's many statistics are leading, the possession rate is close to 70%, the shot is 16-2, the shot is 4-1, it is not too much to say that it is all-round suppression. Counting this match, Senegal have maintained a total of 5 wins + clean sheets against Cape Verde, and the goal-to-goal ratio is 9-0.
In order to limit the performance of Senegalese players, Cape Verde resorted to logging tactics, contributing a total of 14 fouls and 2 were expelled with red cards.
In the 20th minute, Patrick Andrade stomped on his opponent's ankle in a scramble and Pap-Gaiye fell to the ground in pain. At first, the referee was merciful and showed only a yellow card. But at the prompting of VAR, he personally watched the replay and changed his sentence, showing a red card to the Cape Verde midfielder.
In the 57th minute, Senegal's long pass from the back counter-attacked and Mane jumped up to stop the ball. At this time, the Cape Verde goalkeeper Woznia abandoned the door and came out, and the two collided in the air, both falling to the ground in pain.
Wozziña also received a yellow card, but the referee changed his sentence through VAR again, and Cape Verde was sent off 2 people, turning the field into 9 and 11! From the slow motion, Woznia had a lot of impact, and it was suspected of boxing Mane, and the Liverpool superstar fell to the ground in response.
Although the impact did not cause Mane to leave the field immediately, after 15 minutes, he became dizzy, fell to the ground at one point, and then left the stadium under escort.
Seeing this scene, perhaps the most heart-wrenching thing is Liverpool. Mane and Salah are known to be the two most important superstars in Liverpool's forward line, contributing 33 goals and 10 assists this season, accounting for nearly 40% of the team, and if the situation arises between the two, Liverpool's title plan will be greatly affected.
