National anthems done and we are about to get underway
Referee is Victor Gomes from South Africa
Egypt has seven AFCON titles while Senegal are two times finalists (2002 and 2019)
Senegal kick-off the first half
2′ good defending from Egypt to prevent Mane from driving into the box.
3′ Penalty for Senegal. Saliou Ciss brought down by Abdelmonem and it’s a penalty for Senegal.
5′ Abdelmonem receives a yellow card for the foul on Ciss.
6′ Mane misses from the spot. Great save by Abou Gabal who dived in the right direction to beat Mane’s fierce strike away. Huge let off for Egypt
9′ Free kick to Senegal after a foul on Ismail Sarr.
11′ A tame effort by Ismail Sarr makes an easy save for Abou Gabal. Senegal asking all the questions so far
16′ Nampalys Mendy receives the first yellow card of the game for a foul on Omar Marmoush
18′ Ismail Sarr’s effort fails to meet anyone and goes out for a throw in
21′ Elneny fouls Gueye and concedes a free-kick
23′ Another great play from Ismail Sarr who crosses into the box but Mane is unable to reach it.
24′ A long pass to Marmoush from Abdelmonem but the foward fails to meet it.
28′ Salah teases his way through the Senegalese defence but his low effort is easily saved by Edouard Mendy who has been more of a spectator.
