BREAKING: Senegal Emerge Winners Of 2021 AFCON

Senegal has emerged winners of the 2021 AFCON cup.

Glamtush reports that Senegal emerged winners of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations after beating Egypt via penalty shootout in the final played on Sunday evening.

Senegal defeated Egypt 4-2 on penalties to win the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

Senegal and Egypt went into extra time in Sunday’s AFCON final with a score 0-0 at the end of 90 minutes.

Sadio Mane squandered the chance to put Senegal ahead inside seven minutes in Yaounde when his penalty was saved by Egypt goalkeeper Mohamed Abou Gabal.

However, Mane made up for his first-half penalty miss by converting the winning spot-kick in a shoot-out as Senegal defeated Egypt to win a maiden AFCON title on Sunday.

Mohamed Salah’s Egypt were chasing a record-extending eighth AFCON title.

Salah and other Egyptian players wept as Senegal players and fans jubilated.
