    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!
    85'
    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.
