Senegal won the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday evening following a dramatic penalty shootout victory against Egypt in Yaounde, Cameroon.
The game remained goalless after 120 minutes of play before Sadio Mane scored the winning spot kick, with Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah not taking a penalty.
Egyptian stars Mohamed Abdel Monem and Mohanad Lasheen missed from 12 yards, while Senegal’s Bouna Sarr also failed to convert his effort.
The result means Senegal are AFCON champions for the first time in their history. Egypt, meanwhile, remain on seven AFCON titles – a competition record.
