Sadio Mané fires Senegal into Africa Cup of Nations final with a 1-0 win over Egypt

Sadio Mané fired Senegal into the final of the Africa Cup of Nations with a 1-0 victory over seven-time winner Egypt on Wednesday. It sent celebrations of joy and relief among the Teranga Lions’ fans in the Grand Stade de Tanger, where the 2021 champion — after beating Egypt in the final — had taken the initiative but struggled for clear chances against the Pharaohs’ stubborn defense. Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly will miss the title match — against either host Morocco or Nigeria, they were playing in Rabat later — after picking up a yellow card that meant a suspension and then going off injured in the 23rd minute.
