MATCH REPORT: SENEGAL ARE INTO THE LAST EIGHT AFTER AN UNCONVINCING 2-0 WIN OVER NINE-MAN CAPE VERDE

FULL TIME
It's all over here and Senegal are into the quarter-finals!
GOAL! SENEGAL 2-0 CAPE VERDE (DIENG)
That's game over now! Diang slots home a one-on-one chance and Senegal are into the quarter-final!
FIVE MINUTES OF ADDITIONAL TIME TO BE PLAYED
SENEGAL STRUGGLING TO SCORE
Could this be an issue further down the line for Senegal? They look as though they've wrapped this one up, but they break forward and are queing up in the box to tap in a cross, but can't stick the ball in the net!
Nine-man Cape Verde are still in this!
BIG CHANCE CAPE VERDE!
What a story that would have been! The ball drops to Tavares and he only has the keeper to beat, but can't convert and Mendy keeps it out!
SENEGAL MAKE A DOUBLE CHANGE
Pape Gueye and Ciss are replaced by Joseph Lopy and Fode Ballo-Toure.
SENEGAL COME CLOSE!
What a goal this would have been! Substitute Dieng cuts inside and strikes from distance but it grazes the bar.
YELLOW CARD (MENDY)
Pape Mendy goes into the book for a challenge on Monteiro.
CAPE VERDE HAVE ALSO MADE A CHANGE
Tavares makes way for Nuno Borges.
SENEGAL SUBSTITUTION
Willis Furtado replaces Mane.
THAT MIGHT BE MANE'S LAST CONTRIBUTION
After the goal was awarded, Mane dropped to the floor. He still doesn't look right after that collision with the Cape verde goalkeeper and will be replaced.
THE GOAL STANDS
The ref had a look, but there's nothing doing and Senegal take the lead!
HANG ON, THIS IS GOING TO VAR
The goal could be overturned after replays show a foul in the build-up. The referee has gone to the monitor...
GOAL! SENEGAL 1-0 CAPE VERDE (MANE)
Who else?! Mane rifles a shot off the bar and in the top right corner after a corner is cleared only as far as the Liverpool man on the edge of the box. It was coming!

FREE KICK INCHES WIDE!
Pape Gueye misses the target from the free-kick.
Mane is up on his feet and continues to play for now.
CAPE VERDE SUBSTITUTION

RED CARD (VOZINHA)
Cape Verde are down to nine! After a lenghty VAR review, Vozinha has been shown a red card for the challenge on Mane. He was coming off anyway after looking groggy, but the referee has sent him off instead. Harsh!

MANE COMES CLOSE!
And there's a nasty head clash! Mendy retrives a ball from the corner and looks to put Mane through instantly. Vozinha comes flying out of his box to clear and the pair clash heads. Mane is down.
SPECULATIVE FROM GUEYE!
Cape Verde get a cross cleared but only as far as Pape Gueye, who strikes first time from the edge of the box, missing the target by inches. Good effort.
