Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Senegal confirmed their newly found continental superiority by winning the 7th Championship of African Nation (CHAN) after beating host nation Algeria in the finals on Saturday evening.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Lions secured the historic win through a penalty shoot-out which saw them win 5-4 over host nation Algeria, after regulation time and 30 minutes of extra time at the Nelson Mandela Sports Stadium in Algiers.<\/p>\n

Senegal last year won the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time after years of elusion, and made it double by winning the second-tier competition on the continent made for locally based players.<\/p>\n

Both sides converted their kicks successfully until Algeria player Kendouci hits the crossbar to hand the west Africans their first win.<\/p>\n

They became the first West African side to win the competition since its inception.<\/p>\n
