Mané sends Senegal to World Cup, more penalty pain for Salah
Sadio Mané sent his country to the World Cup at the expense of Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah on Tuesday as Senegal beat Egypt 3-1 in a penalty shootout after their playoff ended 1-1 on aggregate. Senegal’s victory, with Mané hitting the winning spot-kick, was a repeat of the African Cup of Nations final last month when Mané clinched a first major title for his country by also scoring the winning penalty in a shootout against the Egyptians. There was more pain for Salah, who missed Egypt’s first penalty in this shootout and again had to watch as Mané celebrated a major victory.
