Sadio Mane’s enviable record in 15 games intact despite Senegal's draw against Japan

Japan managed to hold Senegal to a two all draw on Sunday in their second group H game.

Senegal despite failing to win against Japan, kept their record of never seeing a defeat after a Sadio Mane’s goal intact.

The Liverpool talisman put Senegal in the driving seat in the early minutes after a defensive blunder by the Asians.

Before Inui drew his side level with a stunner, but Moussa Wague scored another sensational goal, but this time round for the Africans to restore their lead.

However, good old Honda came off the bench to save Japan’s blushes with the equaliser to square the game.
