Sadio Mane scores dramatic winner to send Senegal into Africa Cup of Nations final
Senegal's Sadio Mane has given his team a stunning 1-0 win over Egypt in their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final, sending them through to the final. Mane's header from a corner kick in the dying minutes of the game proved to be the difference between the two teams.
The match was played at the Cairo International Stadium, with a large crowd of Egyptian fans supporting their team. However, Senegal's determination and Mane's skill eventually paid off as he scored the winning goal.
Egypt had been dominant for much of the game, but they were unable to create any clear-cut chances despite their possession. Senegal, on the other hand, were content to sit back and absorb the pressure, waiting for a moment of counter-attacking opportunity.
That moment came in the 90th minute when Mane received a corner kick from Sofyan Amrabat. The ball was headed downwards by Bouba Diop, only for Mane to rise above the Egyptian defenders and score with a powerful header. The Senegal fans erupted in joy as their team celebrated their narrow victory.
The win sends Senegal into the Africa Cup of Nations final against either Nigeria or Burkina Faso. It will be a tough match for Mane and his team, but they have shown enough determination and skill to overcome any obstacle.
In other news, the shutdown of the internet in Uganda ahead of the country's elections has been condemned by the United Nations as "deeply worrying". The UN stressed the need for open access to information, highlighting the importance of a free and fair election process.

, this Mane kid is like a total boss on the pitch! I mean, Egypt had all the possession, but Senegal was just chillin' back, waitin' for that perfect moment to strike... and boy did they ever! 
That header from Mane was pure magic. I'm lovin' how he's leadin' Senegal to the final, it's gonna be a tough match against Nigeria or Burkina Faso tho... 
but if anyone can do it, it's him! 
And on a more serious note, shutdowns before elections are super concerning... the UN is right, open access to info is key to a fair election process. We gotta stay vigilant about that kind of thing 
i was screaming at my screen like crazy! senegal's determination paid off in the end, and i'm hyped for them to take on nigeria or burkina faso 
what do u think about the shutdown of the internet in uganda tho? it's so sad that they're restricting people's access to info ahead of their elections 
And Egypt, man... they just couldn't catch a break. 
But seriously, congrats to Senegal for making it to the final! 
That's gonna be a tough match against Nigeria or Burkina Faso... fingers crossed for them! 
And on a totally different note, what's up with Uganda's internet shutdown? 
. And don't even get me started on the comments section - it's always getting clogged up with spam posts 
. Can't we just enjoy a simple sports update without all the distractions? 
sadio mane is a genius!! he's got such amazing skills on the field! i'm not surprised they're going all the way to the final now 
they've been playing really well throughout the tournament. and sorry to hear about uganda, a shutdown of the internet ahead of elections is just so concerning 
the UN is right, open access to information is everything for fair elections 
his header was insane!!! 1-0 win over Egypt means they're heading to the Africa Cup of Nations final 
. And regarding the internet shutdown in Uganda... can't let them vote with their Wi-Fi 
. The UN's got this - access to info is key, folks! 
. This is gonna be an epic final match against Nigeria or Burkina Faso... interesting 
. who does the un think it's ok to just cut off people's access to info? seems like they're more concerned about maintaining control than ensuring a free and fair election process 
. maybe he can lead senegal to that africa cup of nations final and bring home the gold 
! Sadio Mane is literally a superhero on the field, his skills are insane 
! I'm so hyped for him to take on Nigeria or Burkina Faso in the final, he's gonna smash it 
. The UN is all over it and demanding open access to info, can we get our lives back now? 
. I mean, Egypt had all the power and possession but Senegal just waited for that one perfect moment to strike. And what a finish from Mane 
. It's so concerning that the UN is stepping in to condemn it. In this day and age, we need more access to information than ever before 
what's going on there? the UN needs to do more to ensure open access to info for everyone 
sadio mane is literally a hero on the field his determination and skill are so inspiring 
they deserve it after being dominated by egypt for most of the game
the UN is right, access to information is soooo important for a free and fair election process 
hope everything works out for Uganda
