Sadio Mane struck in the 78th minute to hand Senegal a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Egypt in their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash on Wednesday in Tangiers.
The former champions controlled possession for most of the encounter, pinning Egypt back with sustained pressure as the Pharaohs adopted a cautious, defensive approach.
Mane eventually broke the deadlock with a decisive finish late in the game, sparking celebrations among the Senegalese supporters.
Senegal will now face either hosts Morocco or Nigeria in Sunday’s final as they chase continental glory.
