00:00Al-Sayed
00:04And goal for the Egyptians
00:06Strike at goal comes in early from Mamadou Silla, the 38-year-old defender with York Beach Soccer
00:21And Hassan, oh well closed down
00:24By Manjon Gian
00:26And it's taken Senegal 34 seconds
00:30To open the scoring
00:32And the record seven-time Kings of Africa
00:35Lead the host nation of the 2024 Beach Soccer Afcon
00:40And that's a quick-fire start
00:42And is it going to set the tone for what should be an enthralling semi-final
00:46Yeah, Mandione just decided to
00:486-3, they followed that up with a 9-3 win over Tanzania
00:52And then beat Morocco in the final game
00:54But they've gone two goals behind now
00:57Ninou Jatta
01:00Scoring against Egypt
01:03And doubling Senegal's lead
01:05It was a throw from N'Djai
01:08And look at that for a finish
01:10From Ninou Jatta
01:11Stunning strike
01:13From the veteran defender
01:14Anyway, anywhere will do time from Kajaga
01:17For Senegal, Al-Sayed has to launch this quickly
01:19Because the buzzer's going to go
01:21And he's taken too long
01:23And the buzzer does indeed go
01:24And thanks to goals from Manjon Gian
01:26Spread them around
01:28Abdou now flicks it up to Hassan
01:30Into Costa, wanted to take it on the volley
01:32But instead took it on the ground
01:34And Al-Sayed, N'Djai
01:36For them because defensively
01:38The Senegalese have been outstanding in every atmosphere
01:41So they just need to try as much as possible to get that quick goal
01:45Well, they're going to have a penalty here
01:47Because N'Djai handled it
01:50And this will give
01:52Egypt a dream chance
01:54There's a yellow card as well
01:58For the Senegalese
02:00Well, we often say there's no intent
02:03And they really need this to go in Egypt
02:10Paolo for the Egyptians
02:12Listen to the rules
02:13Listen to the cheers
02:15They're back in it
02:15They're on the scoreboard
02:17Fist pumps all around from their squad
02:19Game on
02:21Those are goals that makes you a hero in a beach soccer game
02:24Because for you to have come out to play
02:27Penalties or free kicks like that
02:29It shows the kind of confidence you have in yourself
02:32The kind of confidence you have in your game
02:34And this particular goal now is very, very crucial and vital
02:38For the Egyptian side
02:39Because you're in this second period
02:40Loa thought about the overhead instead
02:43Went for the half volley
02:44N'Djai saves
02:4610 seconds to go
02:48Really is tense
02:49Really is tight
02:50Jatta back to N'Djai
02:52Abdou comes in a little bit forcefully
02:55And fairly so
02:56And cheated
02:58Some of this beach soccer side to talk to his side
03:01Before they went to the Nations Cup in Cameroon
03:04Two years ago and won it there
03:06Buzzer sounds to mark the end of the second period
03:10N'Djai
03:11And captain is off
03:13Hassan standing over this
03:14Touches it to Costa
03:15Drives past one
03:16Tries to wriggle past another
03:18Looks for Baghat
03:19Doesn't find him
03:19Hassan tries to strike
03:21But Amanjong gets a block in
03:23Costa
03:24Into Hassan again
03:25Unfortunate bounce just took it away from him
03:27Going to try the acrobatics
03:29But straight into
03:30Just over three minutes to go
03:33And it's risen and gone wide
03:36And he looks really disappointed
03:38Costa
03:39Because he didn't even force
03:41Hussein Oufai in the Senegalese goal
03:43He just gets thrown out of play by Fai
03:46The last 10 seconds
03:47El Sayed forward for Egypt
03:49It's now or never for the Egyptians
03:51Fai has got it
03:52He just needs to hold on to it
03:54He launches it forward to Amanjong
03:56The buzzer sounds
03:58Senegal are into the final
04:00Of the 2024 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations
04:03And they've qualified
04:05For the 2025 Beach Soccer World Cup in the Seychelles as well
04:09Egyptian players down on their haunches
04:12They cannot believe it
04:13They sunk to the sand on their knees
04:16But goals from Amanjong Djan
04:18And Ninu Jattu in the third period
04:20Enough to seal off the challenge from the hosts
