Vozinha and Sadio Mane both needed treatment after their clash of heads in the second halfSadio Mane scored as Senegal beat nine-man Cape Verde 2-0 in the last 16 at the Africa Cup of Nations, but then was forced off with concussion.
Mane curled in off the underside of the crossbar soon after keeper Vozinha had been dismissed over a nasty clash of heads with the Liverpool forward.
Mane continued despite appearing to be briefly knocked out in the incident.
After celebrating his goal he lay down on halfway, and before the game restarted he was led off the field.
Cape Verde midfielder Patrick Andrade had been shown a straight red card midway through the first half, while Bamba Dieng added Senegal's second in second-half injury time.
The match in Bafoussam was preceded by a minute's silence for the victims of the crush at the Olembe Stadium on Monday.
Senegal will face either Mali or Equatorial Guinea in the last eight on Sunday.
Concern for Mane after clash
Tournament organisers the Confederation of African Football may have questions to answer about their concussion protocols after Vozinha and Liverpool striker Mane were both floored in the 53rd minute.
The Cape Verde keeper rushed out of his box in an attempt to intercept a long kick downfield by Senegal keeper Edouard Mendy, and collided head-first at pace with Mane, who had got to the ball first and headed forward.
After a lengthy stoppage a clearly groggy Vozinha was about to be substituted but, following a video assistant referee review, deserved to receive Cape Verde's second red card for his reckless challenge.
Somehow Mane was deemed fit to continue and, after having a shot saved by substitute keeper Marcio Rosa, the forward then broke the deadlock from the resulting corner.
With further medical assessments to follow, Mane will surely be a doubt for Senegal's quarter-final tie.
More red cards in knock-out stages
Cape Verde midfielder Patrick Andrade was sent off in the first half, and keeper Vozinha followed after the breakSenegal had topped their group despite scoring once in just three matches, and spurned several more chances in front of goal.
Mane hit the right-hand upright in the first minute, and the Teranga Lions had a man advantage 20 minutes later when Andrade was dismissed following a VAR consultation.
He had caught Pape Gueye on the top of the ankle with his studs and his initial yellow was upgraded to red, meaning all five last-16 ties at the tournament have had at least one sending-off.
Two men down, Cape Verde had few forays forward and Julio Tavares had their best chance with five minutes left but tamely flicked a cross straight at Mendy.
Dieng, who had earlier sent two attempts wide, wrapped up the game from a counter-attack as the islanders pushed for a late equaliser.
Senegal were runners-up in 2019 and remain among the favourites to win the Nations Cup, but coach Aliou Cisse will need further improvements in the final third if the West Africans are to lift the trophy for the first time.
