The Teranga Lions met Egypt this Sunday at the Olembe stadium in Yaoundé , Cameroon.

A very tight and goalless match until extra time, despite the opportunity for Senegal in the 5th minute to score thanks to a penalty awarded to them.

The chance could not be converted into a goal by Sadio Mané.

However, the latter is the one who scored the winning goal in the penalty shootout section.
