The five-time AFCON winners will have a chance to revenge for their defeat in the Ivory Coast next year when they face the defending champions on Matchday Two.

Mane tricks Onana

In a viral video on social media monitored by Sports Brief, the former Liverpool star tricked Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana into believing he wasn't the one to take the penalty in the first place.

Olympique Marseille forward Ismaila Sarr stood in the position of taking the penalty as Cameroon players including Onana were still playing their theatrics.

After the centre referee had chanced all the Cameroon defenders away, Sarr left the duty, and Mane replaced him and buried the kick.

Onana was seen smiling as the Al-Nassr star took up the penalty duties.

Mane will return to club duties with the Knights of Najd in the Saudi Pro League.

Luis Castro's side's next game in the league would be against Damac at the Al-Awwal Park, according to Soccerway.

Mane performs local dance with Akon

Sports Brief earlier reported that Al Nassr star, Sadio Mane joined global music icon Akon in performing a popular Senegalese dance on the stage for the Africa Cup of Nations draw in Abidjan.

Akon, a Senegalese-American singer, was the host of the draw at the Parc Des Expositions in Abidjan on Thursday, October 12, 2023.

Mane was part of the players selected to assist in conducting the draw.
