AFCON 2025: Senegal defeat Egypt, to play Nigeria or Morocco in final

Senegal have booked their place in the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Teranaga Lions qualified thanks to a 1-0 win over Egypt in the first semi-final played on Wednesday evening.

It was a cagey affair between the two teams, which shots on target a rarity for most of the game.

But all that changed in the 75th minute of the match after the ball fell to Sadio Mane outside the box.

Mane only took one touch to smash the ball into the bottom of the net.

Senegal will now await the winner of the second semi-final between hosts Morocco and Nigeria later tonight.
