Minute 78: Mane smiles… Senegal eliminates Egypt and reaches the final of the African Cup

Sadio Mane scored a late goal to lead Senegal to reach the final of the African Cup of Nations with a 1-0 victory over Egypt on Wednesday.

Senegal dominated the course of the match, amid a retreat from Egypt, in a replay of the 2021 edition final.
It seemed that the match was heading to extra time, but Mane controlled a rebound from the edge of the penalty area and fired a low shot that landed in the right corner of goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy in the 78th minute.

Senegal, which is seeking to win the title for the second time after beating Egypt four years ago, will face the winner between Morocco and Nigeria in the other semi-final match.
