Senegal advanced to the Africa Cup of Nations final after a narrow 1-0 victory over Egypt in Tangier. The match was closely contested, with Egypt's defense holding strong until Sadio Mané scored from outside the box in the 78th minute following a blocked shot by Lamine Kamara.

Senegal's coach praised his players for their discipline and highlighted Mané's crucial contribution. As the reigning champions, Senegal are now one match away from achieving back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations titles, having also defeated Egypt in the 2021 final.

Senegal are back in the Africa Cup of Nations final after a tense 1-0 victory over Egypt in Tangier. Egypt of course and as I always said Egypt is for me the best ever team in Africa and today they show it again and wow what a team. For 78 minutes the pharaoh's defense held firm then Lamine Kamara's shot was blocked, the rebound fell to Mané just outside the box and he fired into the bottom corner. I want to congratulate my players, really bravo to them who respected this game plan. Also a special mention to our monument Sadio Mané who unlocked this match. The 2021 champions had beaten Egypt in that final too. Now the Taranga Lions stand one match away from back-to-back titles.
