Senegal Possible Line-up for Egypt Encounter

Senegal will eye on Sunday their first Africa Cup of Nations title, when they face Egypt in the final match of the tournament.

The match will kick off at 21:00 CLT.

The Pharaohs reached the final after defeating hosts Cameroon 3-1 on penalties, while Senegal crushed Burkina Faso 3-1 to set up Mane, and Salah display in the final.

Senegal – Third time lucky

Losing twice in the two final matches they played (2002 and 2019), Senegal are hoping for a “third time lucky” this time round.

The Teranga Lions had less complicated tests given the opponents' road to the final. After beating Zimbabwe 1-0 and two goalless draws with Guinea and Malawi to top their Group, Sadio Mané's teammates defeated Cape Verde 2-0, Equatorial Guinea 3-1 then Burkina Faso by the same score in the knockouts.

Once again they will rely on the vast experience of Liverpool superstar Sadio Mane, Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly among others.

Senegal: E Mendy; Sarr, Koulibaly, A Diallo, Ciss; Kouyate, N Mendy, I Gueye; Mane, Dieng, Dia
