Egypt will win this on pens. It's inevitable.
African Cup of Nations 2021 (played in 2022) | Final: Senegal v Egypt, 7 PM UK time

Egypt are definitely winning this. Senegal have had more than enough chances to score.
Did I hear that right? Egypt's keeper saved four pens this tournament?
Someone did look at how often extra time ends up going to penalties. They looked at CL, EL, Euros and WC games between 1970 and 2017.
Out of 472 matches in that period, 233 have gone on to penalties, so actually we do end up finding a winner half the time.
Another boring game to round off the tournament. I was hoping for a game like yesterday. The quality of this tournament has been largely awful. Not sure a 24 team format does anyone any favours.
Mane should be booked again for a blatant dive.
This game is a fitting end to this tournament. Been underwhelming.
Mane is such a cheat.
I wonder what the world record for “most times a ref has whistled in a game of football” is….
Well if the refs weren't so bent then you might have had the likes of Comoros knocking out Cameroon which would have been superb. Burkina Faso were fun as well, it's really been the big teams that have let us down for entertainment, as well as the shitty pitches and refereeing of course.
The pitches have been the biggest problem
Nervy affair this.
State of that dive 
Egypt are scoring a last minute winner.
Oh I give up now.. I don't care who wins, just as long as none of Salah and Mane miss either of their pens and one of them ends up coming back bawling their eyes out.
What a tease.
End to end stuff the watchers will conveniently miss
The Senegal diving has really put me off them.
I love Mendy but he is not great at pens. Congrats Egypt!
Well Mané already messed one up and doesn't seem bothered, hopefully a 2nd will floor him though!
Jermaine Jenas is a boring cnut.
Think Salah is destined to go down the Messi route of winning nothing
Mane… one of his teams major players, in a cup tie, misses a penalty in normal time, that then goes to proper penalties.
Why does that ring a bell?
Why does that ring a bell?
Cmon Mendy!
Congratulations to Aboubakar for ending up with tournament golden boot
The last Copa America?
Koulibaly is so good. Almost Van Dijk-esque.
Can't see it happening for the 3rd time. When was the last time a team won 3 PK shootouts in one tournament ?
Unfortunately I think this Egyptian goalie will save a few.
I fancied Egypt but they all seem a bit over-emotional pre-shootout, I'll go Senegal.
Chances on this ref ordering a retake?
Here we go !
Egypt played for this. It's in the bag.
That's a great pen from Egypt.
Mandy seems to be a terrible pen specialist so Egyptians have the edge here i suppose.
Long lonely walk to the spot
One of Salah or Mane will miss a penalty
Post!
Miss!
Haha, Mendy did well to duck there!
