In the early morning of January 26, Beijing time, the African Cup of Nations Round of 16 competition continued, in which Senegal and Black Horse Buddha began to compete. As a result, Senegal won 2-0 to advance with 2 more players. However, what worries Senegalese fans is that their captain Mane left the field early due to injury, and the injury is still unknown.
As the number one favorite to win the African Cup of Nations, Senegal qualified for the first place in the group stage, but the results were not convincing to everyone. In three games, Senegal scored just one goal and was a penalty shootout in the first game. Such offensive power has indeed made many Senegalese fans unhappy.
In the round of 16, Senegal met The world's 73rd-ranked Cape Verde, and it is not difficult to qualify in theory. However, in the first half of the game, Senegal encountered the team's attacking drought. It is worth mentioning that Senegal's advantage in the first half is already very clear, they have a shot on the goalpost in the opening minute, and 20 minutes later they have an extra player. However, after 45 minutes, Senegal was 0-0 with their opponents.
Back in the second half, the combination of the two Premier League superstars finally allowed Senegal to break the deadlock on the field. In the 56th minute, Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy sent a long pass, Mane received the ball and broke through, then was knocked down by the opponent, and the referee sent the attacking goalkeeper off after VAR review.
Senegal, which played two more players, finally broke the deadlock in the later matches. In the 62nd minute, Mane scored his second goal in the African Cup of Nations in the corner. However, in the ensuing time, Mane was replaced due to injuries, which really worried Senegalese fans and Liverpool fans.
In the 92nd minute, Senegal counter-attacked a two-on-one chance to score again, finally sealing the victory with two more players. In the end, the 90-minute battle was over, Senegal won 2-0, and there was no danger of advancing to the next round. Senegal won quite thrillingly with two red cards being sent off.
But it is undeniable that Senegal is worthy of being the number one favorite of this African Cup of Nations, and they still conceded 0 goals in 4 consecutive games, which is the best of all the participating teams.
As Liverpool manager, Klopp would have been trembling in the morning if he had paid attention to this game in the early hours of the morning. The first is that after Senegal has advanced, Mane's return to the team will inevitably be delayed. And the 8000W superstar retired in the early morning, which is even worse news, and uncle za can be described as 2 degrees of heart in the morning.
