Senegal coach Aliou Cisse says it was not his decision for Sadio Mane to take his side’s second penalty during their 3-0 victory over Kenya in Monday’s final Africa Cup of Nations Group C game at the 30 June Stadium.
The Liverpool star and Champions League winner missed a chance to put the Teranga Lions in front in the 29th minute after his penalty was saved by Patrick Matasi.
However, Mane doubled his side’s lead after Ismaila Sarr had opened the scoring and he made amends for his earlier penalty miss when he completed his brace from the spot to help the West Africans progress to the knockout stage of the competition after finishing second in Group C behind Algeria.
