Senegal secure Qatar World Cup berth

Sadio Mane delivered the winning spot-kick as Senegal edged out Egypt 3-1 on penalties at the end of a tempestuous World Cup play-off second leg in Dakar on Tuesday to win a place at the finals in Qatar.

Boulaye Dia scored in the fourth minute as Senegal won the second leg 1-0 for a 1-1 aggregate draw.

Earlier, Thomas Partey’s strike helped Ghana secure a 1-1 draw with hosts Nigeria, as they became the first African side to book a place at the World Cup.
