Catch up with the highlights from Tuesday’s action as Senegal claimed a 2-0 win over Cape Verde, while Morocco came from behind to beat Malawi 2-1 in the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16.
WATCH: Senegal 2-0 Cape Verde
Liverpool star Sadio Mane ended a 243-minute Senegal goal drought by scoring in a 2-0 win over nine-man Cape Verde in a fiery Afcon last-16 clash in Bafoussam on Tuesday.
The goal came on 63 minutes after the islanders had goalkeeper Josimar ‘Vozinha’ Dias and midfielder Patrick Andrade sent off.
Mane was forced to leave the field soon after breaking the deadlock as his face was swollen following a collision with Vozinha, which led to the second red card.
Bamba Dieng, who replaced Mane, added a second goal two minutes into added time after a breakaway left a single Cape Verde defender facing two Senegalese attackers.
WATCH: Morocco 2-1 Malawi
Morocco showed their fighting spirit to come from a goal down and secure a 2-1 victory over Malawi at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo in Cameroon on Tuesday night.
Goals from Youssef En-Nesyri and Achraf Hakimi cancelled out Gabadinho Mhango’s stunning opener to set up a meeting with Egypt or Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals.
