The third final will have been the good one. Senegal won their very first CAN against Egypt (0-0, 4 pens to 2) after a very closed final on Sunday in Yaoundé in Cameroon. This victory bears the seal of Aliou Cissé, a “local” coach who had cried on the pitch during the two previous failures. As a player, he had missed the last shot on goal in the 2002 final against Cameroon. Coach, he had experienced in 2019 the frustration of a gag goal at the very start of the match against Algeria that his team never recovered (1-0).
