Africa-Press – Angola. Sadio Mané entered, Sunday (06), for the history of Senegal when “offering” the decisive goal, from penalty, for the first CAN snatched by the Lions of Teranga.
First, he missed the penalty at the start of the match, but he took revenge on the Pharaoh’s goalkeeper, Gabaski, when he hit the fourth shot for Senegal, which freed itself from successive attempts to reach the trophy.
In this particular, Sadio Mané got the better of his teammate Mohamed Salah, because the African Cup of Nations final was, in part, also dominated by the story of two Liverpool teammates from England, who on Sunday were on “barricades” many different. Sadio Mané, during the CAN, put an end to all questions or doubts about the investment that Liverpool makes in himself and, with that, being a true engine of his selection.
Through his talent and his character, he (no) showed that he is, without a doubt, the best player in the history of the youth team in Africa. At the age of 29, he won his first continental title in this great competition. Both were chasing their first major trophy with their country to add to Premier League and Champions League titles at club level.
This parallel, curiously sharpened by the fact that they carry the number 10 on their backs when they play, had to end with happiness for one and sadness for the other. Mohamed Salah cried at the end. Salah was expected to be Egypt’s catalyst in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final, but the Pharaohs “gave up” and, 4-5.
