Mane leads Senegal to African Cup qualification

Associated Press  

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Senegal became the first team to qualify for the African Cup of Nations in 2022 with Sadio Mane scoring in a 1-0 win over Guinea-Bissau on Sunday. Senegal lost to Algeria in the final of the last Cup of Nations in Egypt last year, extending its long wait for a first African title. Comoros beat Kenya 2-1 to lead Group G by three points from African giant and record seven-time African Cup winner Egypt. It’s a remarkable achievement considering the tiny Indian Ocean nation has a population of around 800,000 people and won a major qualifying game away from home for the first time ever in this campaign.
