The player, who plays for Villarreal in Spain was subbed off for Lamine Camara in the 66th minute of their round of 32 encounter with Belgium.
Gueye was seen murmuring and showing gestures when the fourth official raised the substitution board, signalling his substitution.
At the time of his removal, Senegal was in a 2-goal lead and all indications pointed to a R16 qualification, potentially increasing Africa's tally to two.
Lamine Camara who came in for Gueye was shown a yellow card on his first touch which limited his defensive actions. Camara also caused the foul on Tielemans that resulted in the penalty in the second half of the extra time.
From a two goal lead for more than eighty (80) minutes of the game, Senegal threw away the lead in less than 150 seconds, and lost by 3-2 at the end of extra time.
Pape Gueye believes the coach could have managed the game better than he did.
