Sadio Mane scored the winning penalty against Egypt as Senegal lift their first Africa Cup of Nations following a 4-2 penalty shootout victory over the Pharaohs as Cameroon 2021 drew to a close last night.

After both sides scored their first penalties, Mohamed Abdelmonem hit the post with Egypt’s second but Egypt goalkeeper Gabaski then saved from a poor effort from Bouna Sarr. Both sides scored their next penalties before Edouard Mendy saved a tame spot-kick from Mohamed Lasheen.

Sadio Mane then stepped up for Egypt having already seen a penalty saved by Gabaski in normal time and made no mistake as he secured Senegal’s first-ever Africa Cup of Nations win. Mane’s Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah did not get the chance to take a penalty, with Senegal winning 4-2.
