I think it's been a decent game to watch, does have a bit of a Salah Mane edge to it. Rare you get players face off like that in a major final these days.
Quite even game, Senegal had best chances and the pen obviously.

I've really enjoyed this tournament, been one of the more memorable AFCONs in recent years, and the quality of the teams have noticeably improved.*
* not Ghana though

This Senegal side is way too strong unfortunately. Will need a near miracle to defeat them in WC qualifiers. Physically and quality wise they're top.
trueWhat’s up with Egypt #15’s headgear?
I agree. Its been fun to watch.I've really enjoyed this tournament, been one of the more memorable AFCONs in recent years, and the quality of the teams have noticeably improved.*

Senegal will only have themselves to blame if they lose this. By far the better team.
Egypt to win on pens.
Egypt are going to sneak this with a Salah madness and its going to be a fecking travesty.
Didn't have time to complete his pre-game shower.
How close was that..
Egypt has to score there
Elneny
FFS someone score in this crap final. Don't take it to yet another boring extra time for Mane and Salah!
Egypt are AFCON football 'eritage. I wouldn't be surprised to see them snatch this.
Has a smash-and-grab win for Egypt written all over this
That should be a second yellow. He's so lucky.
The number 5 from Egypt deserves to be sent off
Sadly, yes.
The way Senegal opened Egypt up there was so brilliant, just begged the finish
That's a yellow card. He should be off. Poor by the referee.
Egypt could really be doing with getting it to Salah.
Accident with a lampshade?
And the award for the most deathrolls goes to….
This second half has been rubbish. Someone liven this up.
I’m getting Greece 2004 vibes from Egypt.
Must be aleast 5 for all the rolling.
I set my alarm for now on the assumption it’d go to ET and likely pens.
Missed much?
Missed much?
4th extra time for Egypt?
Is the the guy who got an injury in semi?
The first 6 minutes.
Well I've only watched the last half hour or so but this is God awful so far.
Fecks sakes, extra time. Can't wait to see the back of this infernal tournament. 
How is Mendy at penalties @WeePat?
Egypt are inevitable.
Not much. Egypt have parked their Boeing. Senegal do not have enough Black+Decker tools to break them down.
When you stop and think about it. Extra time is a weird concept. Two teams haven't scored in 90 minutes, what's going to change in another 30. Just get to penalties. It's a waste of time more often than not.
Nothing special. The only one he's saved at Chelsea is Aguero's panenka. Tuchel subbed him off for Kepa just before pens in the Super cup.
Senegals set-pieces dearie me. So poor
I only ever enjoyed it when it was golden goal during ET. Now it's just a 30 mins precession for penalties
