Anfield aces Mane, Salah to renew rivalry with World Cup spot at stake

YAOUNDE－Sadio Mane trumped Liverpool teammate Mo Salah in the Africa Cup of Nations final, but the Egyptian will soon have a chance to even the score in a World Cup playoff.

Egypt will confront Mane-inspired Senegal home and away in March with a ticket to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar at stake.

Ghana meets Nigeria, Cameroon plays Algeria, Mali faces Tunisia and the Democratic Republic of Congo tackles Morocco in the other playoffs.
