Sadio Mane scored the wining penalty kick as Senegal beat Egypt 4-2 on penalty shootouts to clinch their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations after a 0-0 draw in 120 minutes.
The Liverpool forward had seen a seventh-minute penalty saved by Man of the Match Egypt keeper Gabaski but Mane held his nerve when he returned in the shootout.
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.
