Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Sadio Mane netted the winning spot-kick as Senegal beat Egypt 4-2 on penalties to clinch their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations after a 0-0 draw.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool forward had seen a seventh-minute penalty saved by Egypt keeper Gabaski but Mane held his nerve when he returned in the shootout.<\/p>\n

Chelsea’s Edouard Mendy denied Mohanad Lasheen to give Mane the chance to win it in Yaounde’s Olembe Stadium.<\/p>\n

Gabaski had made three good saves from Senegal’s Bamba Dieng in extra time.<\/p>\n

All four of Egypt’s knockout games at the tournament went the distance, and the North Africans had beaten Ivory Coast and host Cameroon on spot-kicks en route to the final.<\/p>\n

Gabaski had already saved four penalties at the tournament by the time the match went to a shootout, but on this occasion, the 33-year-old was not able to emerge on the winning side.<\/p>\n

Egypt were the first to err when centre-back Mohamed Abdelmonem saw his penalty hit the left-hand upright and bounce away – but Gabaski immediately denied Bouna Sarr.<\/p>\n

However, Lasheen was then denied and Mane won it with an emphatic finish into the bottom left-hand corner, meaning his Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah did not even have the chance to take a penalty, with the Pharaohs captain set to go fifth for his side.<\/p>\n

Senegal had previously lost two Nations Cup finals, finishing runners-up in 2002 and 2019.<\/p>\n

The two sides will meet again in March in a two-legged play-off for a spot at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n
