Senegal 2-0 Cape Verde LIVE! Dieng goal - AFCON result, match stream and latest updates today

Senegal vs Cape Verde - LIVE!

The last-16 stage of the Africa Cup of Nations continues this afternoon as Senegal take on Cape Verde for a place in the quarter-finals.

However, the much will take place under a cloud after the horiffic scenes outside last night’s match between Cameroon and Comoros, where a crush has left at least eight people dead.

In terms of the football, pre-tournament favourites Senegal were hugely underwhelming in the group stage.

Though they eventually finished top of Group B, they did so despite scoring only one goal, a 97th-minute penalty to win their opening game against Zimbabwe, before back-to-back goalless draws against Malawi and Guinea.

They will need to improve against a Cape Verde side who secured their knockout round spot as one of the best third-placed teams by holding hosts Cameroon to a draw in their final game.
