Sadio Mane stole the show in the first 2025 Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals tie on Wednesday night as the Lions of Teranga secured a 1-0 win against Egypt at Grand Stade de Tanger in Tangier.
Senegal settled early at the start of the match and stroked the ball around with relative ease inside the first five minutes. Egypt attempted to play the ball out from the back but were often dispossessed just outside their area.
Egypt grew into the game as the 20 th minute approached but often fell short at the final hurdle. However, Senegal continued to see more of the ball throughout the first-half but likewise, battled to make their chances stick.
