Senegal secured 4-2 win on penalties, Sadio Mane scored the winning penalty to secure a shootout win over Mohamed Salah’s Egypt.
SADIO Mane made up for a first-half penalty miss by converting the winning spot-kick in a shoot-out as Senegal defeated Egypt to win a maiden Africa Cup of Nations title on Sunday.
The two sides were locked at 0-0 after extra-time in the final but Liverpool star Mane held his nerve in the shoot-out which his team won 4-2.
Mane had squandered the chance to put Senegal ahead inside seven minutes in Yaounde when his penalty was saved by Egypt goalkeeper Mohamed Abou Gabal.
Egypt were chasing a record-extending eighth title.
