Sadio Mané, the star of the Senegal national team, spoke about his team's 1-1 draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo in the second round of the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations, emphasizing that the Senegalese team played well despite not securing a win.

Mané said: "I think it was a good match, and we were supposed to win, but unfortunately, we couldn't convert all the chances into goals."

The Senegal star added, "I don't think this is a big problem; this is football. We played against a very good and highly respected opponent, and the Democratic Republic of Congo also deserved a point in this match."

Mané continued speaking about the difficulty of competing in the tournament: "We will try to prepare for the next match in the best possible way, and we expected this match to be tough. In the Africa Cup of Nations, you always have to be ready to face any opponent."

He continued: "Opponents are always complicated and difficult to face, and we must confront these challenges in order to learn from them."

He concluded his statements by saying: "We want to win every match, but earning a point is not a bad outcome. We will now focus on recovery and prepare well for the upcoming match against the Benin national team."
