Live bar January 26 , Senegal beat Cape Verde 2-0 in the 1/8 final of the African Cup of Nations, and in the 53rd minute there was a heart-wrenching scene on the field, Mane and Cape Verde goalkeeper Wozzinia collided on the head and fell to the ground, both of whom may have suffered concussions. The Liverpool Echo reported that the African Cup's handling of concussions was surprising.
Mane looked unconscious when he fell to the ground, and Wozzinia was equally distressed, having been shown a red card for a foul after receiving treatment. Mane continued to play and helped the team open the scoring in the 63rd minute, but then couldn't hold out and went to the hospital for an examination.
After the head impact, Mane was not replaced because the African Cup did not have the term "concussion substitution" (the Premier League has an additional concussion substitution). Griggs, deputy CEO of the Brain Damage Association's Headway, said: "This seems to be another example of football being safer than players.
"It was a serious collision and obviously both players were in pain and could have been more than certain of a concussion.
"At that point, Mane should have been replaced for examination, he then landed on the pitch after scoring the ball and it was clear that his brain was affected.
"Once again, the health of the players is at serious risk. It's shocking that this is still happening. ”
