Senegal celebrates maiden Nations Cup crown

Africa-Press – Eritrea. When Sadio Mane’s penalty kick sped past Egypt’s Mohamed Abou Gabal Ali, Senegal erupted. This is the moment history was made.

A nation that had waited a lifetime for an African football crown had become champions after a grueling 120 minutes against an opponent who’s had her fair share of glory.

It was an incredible show of character for Senegal and their driving force Mane who had missed a penalty early on in the first half.

Every time the Lions of Teranga missed a goal-scoring chance, the fans watching back home in Dakar drowned in disappointment. They had been here before and come short of glory several times.
