On Tuesday in the African Cup of Nations there were no big surprises. Senegal beat Guinea 2-0. The hero of the match was Sadio Mane. The striker from Liverpool collided heads with an opponent in the 54th minute, but scored a goal just 9 minutes later, putting the team ahead. However, in the 70th minute S. Mane had to be substituted, as the head collision was so strong that the Senegalese player struggled in the environment. In the match, Senegal secured victory in extra time thanks to Ahmadou Bamba Dieng, who stepped onto the field, replacing S. Mane. In another match Morocco defeated Malawi 2:1. Malawi took the lead in the 7th minute after another fantastic goal in the African Cup of Nations, scored by Gabadinho Mhango. At the end of the first half, Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri equalized the score, while in the second half Achraf Hakimi extended Morocco's lead with a precise penalty shot. PSG defender received accolades from his teammate Kylian Mbappe on Twitter. In the quarterfinals, Morocco will face either Ivory Coast or Egypt, while Senegal will face Mali, or Equatorial Guinea.
