Senegal’s Dominance in Possession
From the very beginning of the match, Senegal asserted control, dictating the flow of the game through dominant possession.

Despite the Pharaohs’ defensive setup, Senegal’s relentless pressure eventually paid off when Mane’s clinical strike secured their place in the final.
A Date with Morocco or Nigeria
