Afcon 2019: Sadio Mane will continue to take Senegal’s penalty - Aliou Cisse

Senegal coach Aliou Cisse has insisted Sadio Mane will continue to take penalties despite missing from the spot for the second time in the tournament during their 1-0 victory over Uganda on Friday.

The Liverpool man and Champions League winner did, however, score his team's winner in the 15th minute to help the Teranga Lions progress to the quarter-final stage of the competition at the Cairo International Stadium.

However, the 27-year-old had a chance to double his side’s lead in the 61st minute from the penalty spot but his kick was saved by goalkeeper Denis Onyango.
