Sadio Mané has sent his country to the World Cup in Qatar at the expense of Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah as Senegal beat Egypt 3-1 in a penalty shootout to decide their playoff. Mané hit the winning spot-kick in a repeat of the African Cup of Nations final last month when he also scored the winning penalty in a shootout against Salah and Egypt. Salah missed Egypt’s first penalty in Tuesday’s playoff after it ended 1-0 for Senegal after extra time and 1-1 on aggregate. Ghana, Morocco, Tunisia and Cameroon also qualified to make up Africa’s five teams in Qatar.
