Liverpool star Sadio Mane converted a shoot-out penalty on Tuesday to take African champions Senegal to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar at the expense of Egypt.

Congratulations to Senegal.” Ghana started the two-leg tie as underdogs after a dismal showing at the Cup of Nations in January, with a loss to minnows the Comoros condemning them to a humiliating first-round exit. There were no goals in the Cup of Nations final that went to extra time in Yaounde last month, leading to a shoot-out which Senegal won 4-2 with Mane converting the fifth penalty for his side. As was the case in the Africa Cup of Nations final last month, Mane was entrusted with taking the crucial fifth Senegal kick and once again he made no mistake to give his side a 3-1 shoot-out victory. Senegal won the second leg of the African play-off 1-0 in Diamniadio thanks to a fourth-minute goal from Boulaye Dia and the teams finished level at 1-1 on aggregate after extra time. Liverpool star Sadio Mane converted a shoot-out penalty on Tuesday to take African champions Senegal to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar at the expense of Egypt.

Egypt's World Cup qualifying bid has ended in controversy, with a collection of laser pointers in the crowd...

Before that, Senegal's only other appearance was in 2002, when it surprised everyone to reach the quarterfinals on its World Cup debut. Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly hit the crossbar with the first. Ultimately, Mane was given the chance to seal a place at the World Cup in Qatar with Senegal’s fifth penalty and he smashed it down the middle and celebrated in front of his home fans.

There was more drama in Algeria where Ahmed Touba scored in the 118th minute to leave Cameroon on the verge of elimination, only for Cameroon to hit back in the fourth minute of added time in extra time as Karl Toko Ekambi snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

Meanwhile, on the pitch, there have been a number of fouls since the goal, and the ball has spent more time out of play than it has in play. The defensive headed is terrible, and lands back in the centre of goal. The referee calls for the stretcher, and VAR is reviewing for a possible red card. 23rd min: The fouls have slowed down, and a football match has begun. 49th min: We're back underway, and it's a slightly more subdued start to the second half. It's just a warning from the man in the middle. 71st min: Almost an instant impact for Zizo. Salah has the ball on the right and lifts a dream ball into the area. 58th min: Mustapha Ghorbal, the referee, is doing well to keep a handle on things. 92nd min: The corner is just over Cisse's head, and Ismaila puts the ball back into the area. Egypt have a man down, and the hardest worked stretcher bearers in football are back in action. A Senegal player is down with cramp, while an Egyptian player looks to be down, after being fallen on top of by Pape Sarr. Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané spend the break having a chat. Senegal host Egypt in the second leg of their World Cup qualifier, hoping to around a one goal deficit.

Here is Sportsmail's live blog for updates on the crunch World Cup qualifiers as Senegal take on Egypt and Nigeria play Ghana.

Senegal have started like a house on fire and the atmosphere is electric. Egypt grew into it, but the hosts were more threatening and will fancy their chances of adding another after the interval. A green laser is also being shined on visiting players and coaches. Egypt need to weather a storm here early on. Senegal then clear and eventually win a throw-in. Sarr puts an inviting cross into the box and Cisse's attempt at a header goes wide. and the substitute comes close again! Egypt advance into the opposition box for the first time, but Trézéguet is unable to keep the ball in play and the brief chance goes begging. The hosts dispossess Egypt and embark on a counter-attack, but Ismaila Sarr's looping effort from the edge of the box is collected comfortably by El Shenawy. First big chance of the game for Egypt as Ahmed Fattoh is released through on goal, but his shot is kept out by Mendy and the ball eventually goes behind for a goal kick. Salah loses the ball on the halfway line and Senegal break, with Sarr finding Mane on the edge of the box. Sarr wins a free-kick for the hosts over on the right-hand side and it is taken quickly, but Gueye's shot from distance is skied well over the bar.

The Liverpool star had multiple laser pens shone in his face before missing a penalty in the defeat to Senegal…

The retina is very sensitive and is not made to cope with light of that intensity. “If I was a ball player I would be terrified. People have to realize this is not fun and games; it is serious stuff. “You are endangering someone’s vision. The only saving grace is that Salah wasn’t alone with the opening four penalties of the shootout all failing to find the back of the net. Nevertheless, clearly Egypt wanted to learn from the mistakes of the tournament in Cameroon as they moved their star man up the penalty order to ensure that he would get his chance in the sun.

Senegal inflicted yet another penalty shootout defeat on Egypt as the African champions sealed their place in the World Cup 2022 on a dramatic night in ...

However, he loses his nerve and sends his shot wide of the far post! 4' - GOAL! SENEGAL 1-0 EGYPT (BOULAYE DIA) - 1-1 ON AGGREGATE! Senegal are ahead on the night! This comes after missing the chance to even take a penalty in the AFCON final having opted to be his side's fifth taker. Indeed, the game could - and should - have been sewn up long before it proceeded to spot-kicks. He somehow repelled the misfiring Ismaila Sarr, who failed to score with the goal gaping and denied Pape Cisse on no fewer than three occasions. However, it appeared a number of green lasers were directed on his face as he prepared his run-up.

For the second time this year Egypt have been left broken-hearted by a penalty shootout against Senegal. But Mohamed Salah and company might reasonably ask ...

Senegal will be joined at the tournament by Ghana, who drew 1-1 in Nigeria to advance past their great rival on away goals. The lasers might not have been the wildest thing seen in African soccer on Tuesday. Cameroon beat Algeria 1-0 in regulation, forcing extra time in the second leg, and that's where things went bonkers. Mane would then win the night from the spot, sending his country to their second successive World Cup. From then on Senegal would not miss whilst Edouard Mendy stayed in position to parry Mostafa Mohamed's effort down the middle of the goal. The scenes were perhaps even more pronounced when it was the turn of an Egyptian player to take a spot kick; Salah's face appeared to be bathed in green light before he skied his effort over during the shootout. Every spot kick that Pharoahs goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy faced saw several laser beams from the crowd shone in his face, though it should be noted that Senegal players were on the receiving end of similar treatment in last week's first leg.

The Egyptian Football Association says the team was subjected to racism after offensive banners, and fans threw bottles.

Senegal isn’t used to that.” Those lasers were notably seen on Salah prior to him missing his penalty. The teams missed the first four penalties of the shootout. Egypt missed three of its four penalties. FIFA said in a statement to Sky News Sports that it was “currently in the process of analysing the official match reports of the FIFA World Cup qualifier match between Senegal and Egypt”. The association said it was submitting the complaint to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).

Only 13 countries from UEFA are allowed to start the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Therefore, qualifying for the World Cup is much more difficult. Is it because of the quality of our players, is it because of the playing systems of the team leaders or is it because of the training of coaches and players in the youth of the Austrian Federation? Josef Hexberger reached the European Championship on home soil without having to qualify. Qualified for the European Championship, climbed to the first group in the Nations League, only this wonderful qualification for the World Cup failed again.

World football's governing body told CNN it was "in the process of analysing the official match reports." "The Egyptian team was subjected to racism after offensive banners appeared in the stadium stands against the players, specifically against Mohamed Salah, the team leader," the statement read, which was accompanied with pictures of the incidents. The Egyptian Football Association has claimed its men's national team was subject to racism during a defeat in its FIFA World Cup playoff match against Senegal on Tuesday.

Jon Eimer locked in his best bets for Wednesday's USA vs. Costa Rica World Cup 2022 qualifier on Paramount+.

Christian Pulisic is in blistering form coming off a hat trick in a 5-1 win over Panama on Sunday. Others like Paul Arriola, Jesus Ferreira and Gio Reyna have all looked dangerous going forward when presented with opportunities during this qualifying window. Gregg Berhalter's Americans have been at their best when they're high-pressing, while Costa Rica has revived its chances of qualifying by playing methodically. The match is set up in a way where you'd expect the USMNT to sit back while Costa Rica tries attacks, but that largely goes against the nature of both squads. - USMNT vs. - USMNT vs. Costa Rica odds, while Costa Rica is the +265 underdog.

The USMNT finishes off its 2022 World Cup qualifying slate, and all roads point toward officially clinching a spot at the tournament in Qatar, ...

Historically, the U.S. has scored one goal or fewer in every World Cup qualifying match in Costa Rica except one. Tim Weah returns from his yellow card suspension to start on the wing, as Paul Arriola was withdrawn at halftime of the Panama match with a knock and does not appear on the bench. U.S. fans have been mulling over how Berhalter should play this match, but the sportsbooks aren't looking at this match with such a complicated lens. Christian Pulisic starts for the third match of three, but the captain's armband goes to Walker Zimmerman this time. Can the U.S. secure a spot in the tournament and position itself to be playing with this adidas beauty come November? And unlike Costa Rica, unless disaster strikes, yellow card suspensions are no longer a worry, as those do not carry over into the World Cup itself. 8:03 p.m.: USA lineup has been submitted, and it's a strong one, with the U.S. not backing down despite overwhelming odds in its favor. 23rd min: Keylor Navas delivers one of the most devastating goal kicks you'll ever see, taking it quickly and putting it on a platter for a lone Costa Rican attacker chasing the ball in the attacking half, but Tyler Adams does one better and sprints the length of the field and completes the challenge to win the ball back. A worry for the U.S. First real chance of the match falls to the visitors. 13th min: CHANCE, USA! Timothy springs Ricardo Pepi down the right, and the U.S. striker rips a shot from a tight angle that Navas has covered. If nothing else, the scoreless game is a step closer to World Cup qualification.

The USMNT is almost guaranteed a spot in the 2022 World Cup, but it is still pushing to win its first qualifier in Costa Rica and redefine its image.

“We’ve created bonds and a chemistry that, to be honest with you, is very different than a lot of teams that I’ve played on,” said Adams, 23. “We’re in a position right now where we can come to Costa Rica and get the first win. “It keeps us happy, keeps us pumped and it’s definitely a positive.” “We’re going into this game with the mentality to win.” That has been building for a long time, Adams and Weah agree. We have such a good chemistry that everybody’s having a good time.” If that happens, at least partial credit should go to the team administrator who ordered the new boom box. The U.S. hasn’t lost a game that badly since 1979. Costa Rica, meanwhile, comes into the match in a far more precarious position. So with nine players carrying yellow cards, coach Luis Fernando Suárez may decide to hold them out against the U.S. rather than risk losing them to suspension for June’s playoff game. It wasn’t loud enough for some of the dressing rooms the team was using. Can’t hear the music,” said defender DeAndre Yedlin, whose 72 appearances leads all national team players.

US men's national team head coach Gregg Berhalter expressed disdain over the ...

We have all their players identified on their roster, we've scouted all their players, we’ve scouted potential changes, and we go from there,” added Berhalter. I'm not sure exactly what they're going do. “I think it's a dumb rule, honestly.

USA and Costa Rica compete tonight in the CONCACAF game that determines if USMNT qualifies for the World Cup. Here's where and when to watch the game.

Traditionally, the World Cup is held every four years during the summer months. Costa Rica is in a tougher position, currently sitting fourth in the table. And how can you watch the game? They are locked into fourth at worst, with the unlikely hope of surpassing the U.S. or Mexico for a top-three spot. Finishing fourth would send Costa Rica to the inter-confederation playoff, where they would face the Oceania winner in June with a chance to qualify for the World Cup. The USMNT will battle Costa Rica in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying tournament with a prime chance to punch its ticket to Qatar for the World Cup. Led by young star Christian Pulisic, this could be the beginning of a new era for the USMNT.
