Senegal have emerged the champions of 2021 African Cup of Nations.
The Teranga Lions defeated the Pharaohs of Egypt on penalties to emerge the 2021 AFCON champions.
Liverpool forward, Sadio Mane, netted the winning spot-kick as Senegal beat Egypt 4-2 on penalties.
The win was Senegal’s first-ever winning the cup at the African Cup of Nations.
The 90 minutes of play ended goalless draw 0-0.
Mane had lost a seventh-minute penalty saved by Egypt keeper Gabaski.
Chelsea’s Edouard Mendy denied Mohanad Lasheen to give Mane the chance to win it in Yaounde’s Olembe Stadium.
Gabaski had made three good saves from Senegal’s Bamba Dieng in extra time.
