STING OF EGYPT

Mane slays Salah once again as Lions book their final spot

- 

SADIO MANE once again proved to be the scourge of former Liverpool teammate Mo Salah last night, with his late goal sending Senegal to the AFCON final.

It was Mane who famously netted the decisive spot-kick in the final shootout four years ago to win the AFCON over Egypt and deny Salah the chance of claiming the one piece of silverware he admits he craves most.

And that remains a fantasy still after Senegal emerged victorious from a one-sided semifinal in Tangier.

Salah can have little complaint about the outcome, given Egypt failed to produce a shot on target until the dying moments and almost exclusively defended.
