Senegal faces Egypt this evening at the Olembe Stadium in Yaoundé, as the 33rd edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon 2021 reaches its Grand Finale.
Senegal was expected at this stage of the competition as one of the favorites to win.
A win for them will be their first ever title.
Egypt defied those who did not nominate them to go far and managed a formidable campaign to play for a record eighth AFCON title.
Losing twice in the two final matches they played in 2002 and 2019, Senegal are hoping for a “third time lucky” this time round.
