AFCON: History written as Senegal coach Alliou Cisse finally lifts trophy after two past final disappointment (coach-2019 and player- 2002,missed decisive penalty)
Liverpool man Sadio Mane (mental strength/character) made the amends to score the winning penalty against Egypt (4-2) in the 2022 final in Yaunde, Cameroon and consequently hand lions of Tanranga their first ever AFCON tittle.
Mane and company now deserves the golden generation tag,while Cisse is a true African legend who’s arrested to the stage that ‘patience pays’
Liverpool’s lethal striker Mo Salah was in tears at the end, having also lost the 2017 final to Cameroon and seeing his Liverpool teammate Mane seal his fate this time around.
Senegal National team fluffed the chance for an early lead when Mohamed Abdelmonem’s late, reckless challenge brought down left back Saliou Ciss.
Congratulations team Senagal.
