Senegal beats Egypt 4-2 in penalty shootout to win their first ever AFCON title.
The Lions of Teranga roared to their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations trophy thanks to Mendy’s save and Mane’s penalty.
Despite passing Gabaski a very clear information as to where the Senegal players send their penalties on his water bottle, Senegal still beats Egypt.
A total of seven shots on target (Senegal 5, Egypt 2) but none made it past the keepers.
Many chances were created and missed in the 90 minutes of the game as it ended goalless.
In the seventh minute, Mane saw his penalty saved by Gabaski, what a save before Mohamed Salah drives towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the finish was unsuccessful.
Egyptian goalkeeper Gabaski made his national team debut in 2011 but didn’t play again for 10 years until El Shenawy got injured vs Ivory Coast. He has been incredible for the Pharaohs.
Mendy must be delighted, having won the Champions League with Chelsea and now AFCON with Senegal in 12 months.
