Senegal became champion of Africa in a match that will have a quick rematch

The Liverpool striker Sadio Mane, made the final shot that gave the crown to the representative directed by DT Aliou Cissé.

Senegal, who had reached this instance after beating Burkina Faso (3-1) in a semifinal, converted his shots through Kalidou Koulibaly, Abdou Diallo, Bamba Dieng and the targeted Mane.

Egypt, led by the Portuguese DT Carlos Queiroz (former Real Madrid), scored through Zizo and Marwan Hamdy. the goalkeeper Edward Mendy, from English Chelsea, saved his shot to mohanad lasheen, in the fourth Egyptian execution.

Inclusive, Muhammad Salah, the star of the cast of the “Pharaohs” who also plays for Liverpool, was left unfinished in the defining series.

Senegal, who had reached the runners-up in Mali 2002 and Egypt 2019, was always the team that took the initiative, although they could not unbalance in a match that became even and boring.

Egypt, who barely scored 4 goals in 7 games held in the continental competition (two of them in the semifinal against Morocco that ended with a 2-1 in favor), bet on going against, throwing the ball to Salah and that he solve the Former Roma player. This is how the minutes passed, the 90 regulations and the 30 overtime, and parity led inexorably to penalties.
