Mane scores stunning goal after suffering blow to head in Senegal's AFCON win

The Liverpool star's brilliant curling effort in the 63rd minute gave Senegal the lead in the eventful last-16 clash.

However, there's controversy over whether Mane should've been on the pitch to score the goal having suffered a nasty blow to the head moments earlier.

Mane and Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha collided as they chased a 50-50 ball, and both players were left shaken up afterwards.

Vozinha was unsteady on his feet after the incident but too add insult to injury he was sent off for his part in the collision.

Mane wasn't punished and appeared to be okay to continue despite the fact his head hit the ground after the coming together.

He then fired Senegal in front, the goal eventually being awarded after a lengthy VAR check. Mane was then substituted as he went down just before play restarted.

Mane's replacement, Bamba Dieng, scored Senegal's second in stoppage-time.

Earlier, Patrick Andrade was sent off in the first half for a late tackle on Senegal and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye following a VAR check.

Senegal will face the winner of the Mali vs Equatorial Guinea clash in the last eight on Sunday.
