Mohamed Salah protagonist in Sadio Mané’s failed penalty | VIDEO

With six minutes still to play in the match between Senegal and Egypt for the African Cup of Nations, a penalty was awarded to the Senegalese. The person in charge of finishing off the foul was the Liverpool striker and star of the team, Sadio Mané.

In the seconds before the shot, Mohamed Salah, a teammate of Sadio Mané at Liverpool, spoke with his goalkeeper, giving him advice on choosing the side where he would shoot. Despite the fact that Mané entered the conversation, indicating that his shot would be to the left of the goalkeeper, the Egyptian trusted Salah’s advice and threw himself to the right side of him.

The penalty was saved and the previous conversation between the two soccer players is viral on social networks. The importance of knowing the background of the penalty takers was once again key in a game.
