Senegal have booked their place in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Egypt in the semi-final clash
Sadio Mane netted the decisive goal in the 78th minute, securing a 1-0 win for Senegal over Egypt in their Africa Cup of Nations semifinal in Tangier. Senegal controlled possession throughout the match against a cautious Egyptian side and will meet either hosts Morocco or Nigeria in Sunday’s final.
It was a cagey match, with Senegal being the aggressors, and Egypt displaying their defensive fortitude.
Ultimately, Mane’s long-distance strike proved the difference maker, which was deserved as Senegal had the edge in possession (65 percent) and total shots (11 to four) over their opponents.
Egypt tried in vain to force an equaliser, but it was a case of being too little, too late.
