Tuesday was a big night for Liverpool team-mates Mo Salah and Sadio Mane who are two of football's biggest stars.

The pair faced one another during Egypt's World Cup qualifying play-off match against Senegal at the West African country's new 50,000-seater stadium in the city of Diamniadio.

In a repeat of the Africa Cup of Nations final, it was Senegal who were victorious, winning on penalties again, leaving Egypt and Mo Salah out of the World Cup.

The second leg of the play-off finished 1-0 to the hosts, with Senegal's Boulaye Dia scoring the only goal in normal time after just four minutes. The final score was 1-1 on aggregate after extra time, sending the game to a tense and dramatic shootout.

It was Liverpool's Sadio Mane who scored the winning penalty to send Senegal to the 2022 World Cup after club team-mate Mohamed Salah missed his spot-kick for Egypt.

However, the game wasn't without some controversy. Egypt's captain Salah missed a penalty in the shootout after having a number of green laser pointers directed at his face.
