00:00 It was four days shy of 20 years ago.
00:12 So Koulibaly from Napoli with the first kick against Abou Gabal.
00:21 Sneaks in just under the body of the goalkeeper.
00:25 Senegal are on the board.
00:31 He picked the right way, he got his hands on it, he'll be disappointed, Abou Gabal.
00:37 Big responsibility for a young man but he's come up trumps already.
00:42 Did so against Cameroon, got the first penalty on the board in the semi-final.
00:47 Up against Edouard Mendy.
00:49 Another excellent kick from Zizou.
00:54 Egypt are yet to miss a penalty at this competition.
00:58 Five out of five against the Ivorians.
01:00 They only needed three to get past Cameroon.
01:02 That's nine out of nine so far in the shootouts.
01:11 Bring themselves to look at this.
01:13 This is Diallo.
01:14 Diallo just past the goalkeeper.
01:16 The two Senegalese kicks have not been all that convincing but they have landed in the
01:21 back of the net.
01:22 2-1.
01:30 That's the reaction from Alwench.
01:32 What a game he's had tonight in Cameroon in tough conditions.
01:38 Abdelmonem against Edouard Mendy who is a big figure in that goal.
01:45 Abdelmonem!
01:46 He's cracked it against the upright.
01:50 It's Isamis, the first one squandered by the Egyptians at this tournament.
01:58 Inches away, he gave away a penalty in the early stages of this game.
02:03 Now he's cracked that against the crossbar.
02:07 Mendy got out of the way as well from the rebound.
02:09 Had that hit him on the back of the head, it would have gone in the net.
02:13 Advantage Senegal.
02:16 Huge chance now to win it.
02:19 Another French-born player in the Senegalese side.
02:25 Sarr saved by Abdelgabal.
02:33 Keloid celebrates.
02:40 He's looking at the possible permutations.
02:45 They well prepared the Egyptians and they get due reward.
02:53 Hamdi was perhaps the closest to scoring a goal for Egypt.
02:56 Hamdi!
02:57 Oh, that's easy.
02:59 Waited for Mendy to commit.
03:03 Not sure Mendy's ploy of moving up and down on that line is conducive to making a stop.
03:12 Trying to block out the noise.
03:16 Young man against Abdelgabal and in the back of the net.
03:23 Keeper went the wrong way.
03:24 Three out of four, Senegal, they're back in the lead.
03:30 Dien goes over to talk to his goalkeeper.
03:34 High in the roof of the net, no chance of the keeper there.
03:42 Game on as a late change here.
03:48 Up against Mendy.
03:49 Lachine saved!
03:50 Saved!
03:51 Now Senegal are in the driving seat.
03:59 If Senegal score now, they will be African champions.
04:07 Two out of four for the Egyptians.
04:14 There's the reaction from El Hadry.
04:22 On penalties.
04:23 Can he make it four out of five?
04:26 Mane!
04:28 Mane!
04:29 Senegal are African champions!
04:36 In Senegal are the new African champions!
04:45 Defeating Egypt from the penalty shootout!
04:49 And with this, obtaining their first title ever in the competition.
04:56 They failed three years ago in Egypt, losing the final to Algeria 1-0.
05:03 But this time around, things have changed.
05:08 And the team led by Sadio Mane are the new champions of the African Cup of Nations.
