Senegal defeated Egypt 4-2 on penalties in Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations final, after the sides couldn't be separated in 120 minutes of scoreless football. Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy made a fourth-round save to hand Senegal the advantage, and Liverpool talisman Sadio Mane converted the winning spot kick.
The triumph marked Senegal's first ever AFCON crown.
The drama of the final began unfolding immediately, when Egypt centre-back Mohamed Abdelmonem conceded a penalty just four minutes into the contest. Goalkeeper Mohamed Abougabal would atone for his defender's error, though, saving Mane's effort from the spot to keep the game scoreless.
