Sadio Mané forced off as Senegal beat Cape Verde to reach quarter-finals

Senegal’s Sadio Mané scored but then went off with a suspected concussion as they beat nine-man Cape Verde 2-0 in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Mané fired home from a set-piece after 62 minutes but had been hurt earlier in a nasty clash of heads with Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, who was sent off for the incident.

Liverpool forward Mané then left the field shortly afterwards complaining of a headache and could be a doubt for the quarter-final in Limbe on Sunday.

Substitute Bamba Dieng scored the second goal deep in stoppage time against a gallant Cape Verde side, who also had Patrick Andrade sent off after 20 minutes.
