Senegal secured a place in the Africa Cup of Nations final after a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Egypt in their semifinal clash on January 14, 2026.

The encounter, played at 6:00 p.m., remained goalless throughout the first half, with both sides cancelling each other out in a tense and tactical battle. Senegal enjoyed spells of control, while Egypt relied on defensive discipline and quick transitions to stay level at the break.

The breakthrough came in the second half when Sadio Mané delivered the decisive moment in the 78th minute, finding the net to give the defending champions the advantage. The goal proved enough to separate the two African heavyweights despite late pressure from the Egyptian side.

Both teams made several substitutions in the closing stages as Egypt pushed for an equaliser, but Senegal’s defence held firm to preserve the narrow lead until the final whistle.

The victory sees Senegal advance to the AFCON final, eliminating Egypt from the competition and keeping alive their quest for continental glory.
