Sadio Mane's shocking miss doesn't cost Senegal as Lions of Teranga maintain perfect AFCON record against Guinea and breeze into last 16

The winger went past the goalkeeper but due to a heavy touch, failed to keep the final shot on target.In the 61st minute, the Lions of Teranga finally opened the scoring when Abdoulaye Seck headed the ball into the goal from Krepin Diatta's inch-perfect free-kick.Second-half substitute Iliman Ndiaye sealed the fate of the game in stoppage time as he scored following a pass from Mane to maintain his team's 100% win record in the group stage.

THE MVP

Former Liverpool star Mane had a frustrating outing against Guinea as he failed to find the back of the net despite getting quite a few opportunities. In the 56th minute, he missed the easiest of chances to break the deadlock but failed to keep his shot on target in an empty goal. He did score a goal towards the end of the game but it was ruled out due to offside.

THE BIG LOSER
