Mbabane: It is now in Sihlangu’s hands.
Eswatini’s wins in their back-to-back matches against Congo Brazzaville will effectively push them to second spot in Group I and back to contention for a spot in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations finals. This is after English giants Liverpool star Sadio Mane inspired Senegal to their third victory on the trot on Wednesday evening.
The Reds forward helped the Teranga Lions stretch their unbeaten run with his strike in Thies. Mane opened the scoring for Senegal in their 2-0 victory over Guinea-Bissau.
Mane stepped up to fire Aliou Cisse’s side ahead from the penalty spot two minutes before half time while Opa Nguette sealed maximum points for the hosts in the 73rd minute.
Wednesday’s strike at the Stade Lat Dior was Mane’s 20th goal for the Teranga Lions on his 62nd appearance, which puts him a goal behind joint-second all-time top scorer El Hadji Diouf and Mamadou Diallo.
The victory extended Senegal’s dominance in Group I as they maintain their spot at the top with nine points after three games while Guinea-Bissau are placed third with three points from three matches, the same with Congo Brazzaville.
Sihlangu will now have to win the upcoming matches to leap- frog the table.
