Senegal beat South Africa to reach World Cup

Senegal qualified for their second appearance at the World Cup finals, returning after a 16-year absence, with a clinical victory over a luckless South Africa at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

Sadio Mane, who made an earlier-than-expected return from injury, was key to the Teranga Lions' victory.
He laid on a superb, defence-splitting pass for West Ham striker Diafra Sakho to slot past Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, giving Senegal the perfect start after 12 minutes.
The Liverpool winger then helped to seal the game for the West Africans seven minutes before half time.
His close range shot was saved by Khune, the loose ball fortuitously rebounding into the net off the head of defender Thamsanqa Mkhize, who was prone on the ground.
Bafana Bafana were desperately unlucky not to be on level terms before that setback as Lebogang Manyama struck the crossbar from close range while Percy Tau was unable to poke home the rebound that fell into his path after Senegal goalkeeper Khadim Ndiaye saved a Themba Zwane effort.
The home side's short-passing game troubled a Senegal defence missing the suspended Kara Mbodji but Bafana's perennial problem of failing to convert clear-cut chances proved to be the their undoing.
Dominance of territory, possession and creating several scoring chances proved irrelevant as Senegal converted the few they had to clinch their World Cup berth.
Qualifying his team for the World Cup sees Senegal coach Aliou Cisse joining the late former Nigeria captain Stephen Keshi as individuals who have played at and qualified a team for Fifa's showpiece event.
The sides meet again in Dakar on Tuesday in a game that is now of academic interest as Senegal join Nigeria and Egypt as the third of Africa's five qualifiers.

There are three places for African nations at the 2018 World Cup still available

The final round of matches to compete for the remaining three slots for Africa ahead of next year's football World Cup in Russia, will kick off later today.
Egypt and Nigeria have already qualified, while Tunisia and Senegal are almost there.
Senegal could be the first to qualify if they win away against South Africa to guarantee top spot in Group D.
The match in Polokwane is a replay of last year's 2-1 win for South Africa at the same venue.
Football's world governing body, Fifa, ordered a repeat of the game after it found the result was manipulated by Ghanaian referee Joseph Lamptey, who has since been handed a life ban.
It means Senegal and South Africa play each other twice in the space of four days with a return encounter next Tuesday in Dakar.
Senegal need one point from the two games and South Africa coach Stuart Baxter admits that he and his side are underdogs to qualify for Russia.
Here's a list of other matches to look out for:

Lupita Nyong'o accuses Grazia of removing her hair

Lupita Nyong'o accuses Grazia of removing her hair

Lupita Nyong'o has accused Grazia magazine of removing part of her hair for the front cover of its November edition.

 The magazine took to Instagram to apologise to Lupita

She said she was "disappointed" it changed her hairstyle to "fit their notion of what beautiful hair looks like".

The actress posted the original image on Instagram alongside the published version - which appears to show some of her hair missing.

The UK-based magazine has apologised.

In a lengthy Instagram post, the Oscar-winning actress said: "I embrace my natural heritage and despite having grown up thinking light skin and straight, silky hair were the standards of beauty, I now know that my dark skin and kinky, coily hair are beautiful too."

The 12 Years a Slave star went on to say if she had been consulted she wouldn't have supported the "omission of what is my native heritage".

Lupita, who's from Kenya, added there was "still a very long way to go to combat the unconscious prejudice against black women's complexion, hair style and texture".

In a statement, Grazia said it was "committed to representing diversity" and apologised to the actress.

It also said it also wanted to make clear that it did not ask the photographer to alter the image or make the edit itself.

Lupita is the latest star to tell a UK magazine not to touch her hair.

Solange Knowles hit out at the London Evening Standard magazine last month for digitally removing some of her braids on its front cover.

The magazine later apologised.
