Senegal seals AFCON Final berth after hard-fought win over Egypt

Senegal Reaches AFCON Final

Papy Thiow, Senegal''s head coach, expressed immense joy after sealing a spot in the Africa Cup of Nations final, now staged in Morocco.

The Senegalese national team edged Egypt 1-0 in a tense semifinal on Wednesday evening.

“We feel overwhelming happiness at reaching the AFCON final,” Thiow said at a post-match press conference. “The match was very tough against a strong, cohesive Egyptian side.”

He added: “We started the game with a strong will to win, and this determination showed clearly on the pitch.”

He paid tribute to the Pharaohs, saying: “I applaud the dignified performance of Egypt; they played a great game that deserves praise.”

“We now shift focus entirely to the final, and we will give our all to lift the trophy,” he concluded.

Punchline 1: If football had a GPS, Senegal would be navigating straight to the trophy—even the ball knows the way.

Punchline 2: Egypt played well, but even their camels wouldn’t have outrun Senegal’s passing accuracy tonight.
