Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Senegal completed a double when they beat hosts Algeria 5-4 on penalties after a 0-0 draw to win the African Nations Championship (CHAN) final on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Golden Boot winner Aymen Mahious had a chance to win a competition reserved for footballers playing in their country of birth when he stepped forward to take the 10th spot-kick.<\/p>\n

But his attempt was weak and straight at goalkeeper Pape Sy, who saved comfortably, leaving the teams deadlocked at 4-4, and necessitating a sudden-death extension to the shootout.<\/p>\n

Ousmane Diouf calmly converted to edge Senegal ahead amid whistling from many in a sell-out 39,120 crowd at the Stade Nelson Mandela in Algiers.<\/p>\n

Ahmed Kendouci had to score to keep Algerian hopes of victory alive, but his shot rebounded off the crossbar and Senegal were champions.<\/p>\n

The local-based team triumphed a year after the full Senegal team, including stars like Sadio Mane, beat Egypt on penalties to win the premier competition, the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

It was a joyous occasion for all of west Africa as teams from the region reached five of the other six Nations Championship finals and lost them all.<\/p>\n

This was the second final to be decided by a shootout with Libya beating Ghana on penalties after a goalless 2014 title decider in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

Regular and extra time in a tense, physical Algiers showdown were notable for the lack of goal attempts with just four in 120 minutes, three of them from Algeria.<\/p>\n

The attempt that came closest to breaking the deadlock was in the 107th minute when a volley from Houssem Mrezigue was brilliantly pushed over by Sy.<\/p>\n

An unusual fact was that neither team was caught offside during the cagey 120-minute attritional battle, while each side received four yellow cards.<\/p>\n

Morocco, the Democratic Republic of Congo (twice each), Libya and Tunisia won previous editions of the national team competition.<\/p>\n

There was also drama in the third place playoff in the western city of Oran on Friday with a 90th-minute goal from Jean-Yves Razafindrakoto earning Madagascar a 1-0 win over Niger.<\/p>\n
