AFCON: Senegal and Morocco advance, concussion concern for Mane

The Hindu  

Sadio Mane got up from a horrible clash of heads that left him dazed on the ground, possibly with a concussion, to score a goal and help put Senegal into the quarterfinals of the African Cup of Nations on Tuesday. Senegal won 2-0 against Cape Verde, which had two players sent off in the last 16 game in Cameroon's western city of Bafoussam. The African Cup action continued a day after a crush outside the stadium at the Cameroon-Comoros last 16 game left eight people dead and seven others in a serious condition, throwing a shadow over the continent’s top football tournament. Rest in peace.” In the Senegal-Cape Verde game, Cape Verde's second red card was dished out to goalkeeper Vozinha when he raced out of his area and tried to head a ball clear with Mané chasing it down. The two red cards for Cape Verde meant seven red cards have been handed out in the first five knockout games of the African Cup.
