Sadio Mane Goal Dumps Mohamed Salah OUT of AFCON – but when Will Liverpool Star Return?

Sadio Mané’s late 20-yard strike secured a 1-0 win for Senegal, with Egypt managing only one shot on target, highlighting a cautious match dominated by possession.

  • In Tangier, Sadio Mané's long-range strike from 20 yards broke the deadlock with more than ten minutes left, securing Senegal's victory.
  • Senegal dominated possession but adopted a cautious approach that limited clear attacks, while Egypt largely parked the bus and rarely troubled the penalty area.
  • Only in stoppage time did Egypt manage a single shot on target, delivered by Omar Marmoush in the 95th minute, despite fielding Mohamed Salah and Marmoush upfront.
  • Senegal moved into the final while Kalidou Koulibaly and Habib Diarra received bookings and will be suspended, with Koulibaly also possibly unfit after a groin injury and replacement by Mamadou Sarr.
  • Both teams were pedestrian but tensions flared after a challenge involving Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané, prompting a bench-clearing altercation amid other incidents in the first half.
