The Lions of Teranga of Senegal have defeated the Pharaohs of Egypt on penalties to win 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
The two teams went into extra time in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations final with the score 0-0 at the end of 90 minutes.
Sadio Mane squandered the chance to put Senegal ahead inside seven minutes in Yaounde when his penalty was saved by Egypt goalkeeper Mohamed Abou Gabal.
Senegal won AFCON for the first time while Mohamed Salah’s Egypt were chasing a record-extending eighth title.
