Sadio Mane fumes at 'catastrophic' conditions and power outage as Senegal beat Zambia

The Liverpool striker experienced an unusual situation in Thies during a friendly encounter in front of fans

Sadio Mane has slammed the Senegal government following the blackout that occurred during Saturday's international friendly match against Zambia.

After cruising into a 3-0 lead at half-time, there was a total blackout at the Lat Dior Stadium which forced the players to sit in the dressing room for over half an hour.

Mane opened the scoring for the Teranga Lions in the 22nd minute while AS Monaco's Krepin Diatta and Watford’s Ismaila Sarr stretched the lead minutes later.
