Senegal qualifies for 2022 FIFA World Cup after beating Egypt on penalties
Senegal 1-0 Egypt (3-1 pens): Senegal have qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Sadio Mane delivered the winning spot kick as Senegal edged Egypt 3-1 on penalties at the end of a tempestuous World Cup playoff second leg in Dakar on Tuesday to win a place at the finals in Qatar later this year.
Boulaye Dia scored in the fourth minute as Senegal won the second leg 1-0 for a 1-1 aggregate draw at the new Diamniadio Olympic Stadium, which was packed with a capacity 50,000 crowd hours before kickoff.
The nerve-filled shootout started with four misses, including from both captains – Kalidou Koulibaly and then Mohamed Salah – but Mane won the shootout, reprising his heroics in last month’s Africa Cup of Nations final.
