AFRICA: Senegal forward Sadio Mane has said will step aside as his team’s penalty taker for the time being after missing spot kicks in successive games at the Africa Cup of Nations. Mane, who has scored three goals in the tournament, saw a penalty saved during his team’s 1-0 round of 16 matches win over Uganda on Friday, having previously missed in the 3-0 win over Kenya where he also converted one penalty. “I have missed penalties in both games and must admit that it is not a good ratio. Earlier, Senegal coach Aliou Cisse said he was happy for Mane to continue as his penalty taker. Senegal, who have never won the competition, face Benin in the semi-finals.
