Senegal are down to ten men in the 70th minute.
Details: Today's final Group D match at the Africa Cup of Nations between Benin and Senegal was marred by an ugly incident.
As of the 70th minute, Senegal were leading 2-0, a result that would secure them top spot in the group. However, their advantage came under threat when the referee sent off Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
After Benin midfielder Tosin Aiyegun dribbled past Koulibaly, the Senegal captain brought him down with a reckless challenge from behind. Initially, the referee showed Koulibaly a yellow card, but after a VAR review, upgraded it to a straight red.
