SPL: Sadio Mane confused his teammate with an opponent 

After shaking hands with Qassem Lajami of Al-Fateh, famed Al-Nassr player Sadio Mane responded in a humorous manner. Notably, Mane's teammate at Al-Nassr, Ali Lajami, is the identical twin brother of Qassem Lajami.

Al-Nassr and Al-Fateh were due to face off on August 25 at the Prince Abdullah Bin Jalawi Stadium in the Saudi Pro League. After suffering back-to-back losses to Al-Ettifaq and Al-Taawoun to start their current season, Mane and his side are determined to pick up their winning streak.

Just before the game began, during the traditional handshakes between the opposing teams, a humorous occurrence took place. Sadio Mane, age 31, shook hands with Qassem Lajami of Al-Fateh. However, what followed was a quick and funny moment — Mane turned around for a split second with a bewildered look on his face. The twin brother of Qassem, Ali, plays a key role in Mane's own team, Al-Nassr, which is the source of this amusing response.
