Senegal finally on the roof of Africa.

After two finals lost in 2002 and 2019, the Teranga Lions won their first continental trophy by winning on penalties against Egypt (0-0, 4-2 on pens).

Checked by the exercise specialist Gabaski at the start of the match (6th), Sadio Mané scored the winning shot on goal for his team, just after a stoppage by his goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
