APN: Senegal celebrates a historic triumph. Mané decided in a one-shot shootout – ŠPORT.sk

With 7 minutes played, a phenomenal play on the left side freed Sadio Mané, of Liverpool, to dash through and score another goal for the visitors. However, the goalkeeper of the Cairo Zamalek, Mohamed Abou Gabal, caught the penalty kick, who lets Gabaski speak in honor of his Polish wife.

The West Africans were more active throughout the game, but Mohamed Salah also got his chance. However, two minutes before the end of the first half, Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy also showed his qualities and neutralized the Egyptian with a well-placed shot into the corner.

Even after the change of parties, the Senegalese in particular lost their activity. In the 53rd minute, Mané broke through in front of Gabal, but the Egyptian goalkeeper took the ball from his feet. After an hour of play, the teams began to play carefully and the duel went into overtime. In it, both teams had one big chance. Boulaye Dia’s counterattacks created a good chance for Gabal on the right, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. Mendy then neutralized a shot under the crossbar of Ziza in the 116th minute.

In the fifth series of the eleven shootout, Mané did not repeat his hesitation at the beginning of the duel and arranged the premiere celebrations of the African title for his country. Salah didn’t get another word. Senegal succeeded in the final on the third attempt. He previously lost to Cameroon in 2002 and to Algeria in 2019.
