Sadio Mane was unhappy with refereeing during the game between Senegal and Algeria at the Abdoulaye Wade Stadium in Dakar on Tuesday night.

The Al Nassr star was in action as the African champions lost to Algeria in what was a repeat of the 2019 AFCON finals.

Fares Chaibi headed home the winner in the 64th minute after meeting a lovely cross from former Manchester City winger, Riyad Mahrez.

In a video shared on social media, Mane lost his cool after a decision was taken against him with Senegal on an attacking move. The ex-Liverpool winger blasted the ball into the air before furiously talking at the referee, who showed him the yellow card.

Senegal secured early Africa Cup of Nations qualification and rounded up the qualifiers with a 1-1 draw against Rwanda.

The AFCON holders have started preparations ahead of the defence of their title in Ivory Coast next year.

Meanwhile, Mane is expected to return to Saudi Arabia to rejoin his Al Nassr teammates ahead of the resumption of the league.

Mane has scored five goals in five games for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, as reported by Transfermarkt.
