Sadio Mane Reacts After Senegal's Back to Back Wins During the International Break

• Sadio Mane scored the winner as Senegal beat Benin 1-0
• Senegal have recovered from their AFCON disappointment
• The Teranga Lions are preparing for the World Cup qualifiers

Senegal's talismanic forward, Sadio Mane, has expressed delight following the Teranga Lions' back-to-back victories in the March international break.

The Al-Nassr star scored the only goal as Senegal defeated Benin in Amiens to wrap up their preparations for June's World Cup qualifiers.

The former Liverpool winger was also on target as the 2021 Africa champions thrashed Gabon last Friday.

Mane believes the victories over Gabon and Benin will boost the team's morale ahead of the games against DR Congo and Mauritania in June, especially after their round of 16 exit at the Africa Cup of Nations.

“We scored above all to build confidence. When you score and the team wins, that's the main thing. I try to score or make my teammates score so that we win matches," he told Wiw Sport.

The winner against Benin was Mane's 43rd goal for the West African nation as he extended his record as the country's all-time top scorer.

He is expected to return to Saudi Arabia this week as Al-Nassr prepares to face Al Tai in the Saudi Pro League, per Sofascore.
