Senegal made history as they won the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time, with a dramatic 4-2 victory on penalties over Egypt.

After just three minutes, Senegal were awarded a penalty after a rash challenge from Mohamed Abdelmonem on Saliou Ciss in the box.

But Gabaski made a heroic save to deny Mane a chance to convert his effort from the spot kick.

90 minutes of normal time and extra time failed to produce a match winner as the two sides remained locked in a goalless stalemate, heading to a penalty shootout.

Mane redeemed himself after failing to take advantage of the early penalty, netting the winning spotkick in the shootout to secure a history-making win for his country.
