Mane late penalty fires Senegal to victory over Rwanda

The Liverpool superstar extended his record as his country’s top scorer with the spot kick against the resolute Amavubi

Sadio Mane was the match winner for Senegal yet again when his last-minute penalty broke Rwanda’s hearts to give the reigning African champions a 1-0 victory in their second 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

With the match destined to end 0-0 and the five minutes added on almost done, defender Ange Mutsinzi was adjudged to have committed a foul in the box as Senegal pressed on in search of a goal and the referee pointed to the spot.

Mane, who became his country’s top scorer with 32 goals following his hat-trick against Benin on match-day one, made it 33 strikes for Senegal as he slotted home the penalty with a low shot in the right corner.
