Senegal are now through to the final and were well on their way to victory today. Egypt barely managed to attack until the end of the game, when Omar Marmoush had a powerful shot that was saved.
The Egyptian coach has been criticized for having his team play defensive football, and those voices will no doubt only get louder after this loss.
Egypt captain Mohamed Salah was barely seen in the game and had no shots. However, his former Liverpool teammate Sadio Mané was Senegal's hero when he slotted home a first-time winner in the 78th minute.
Senegal will face either Nigeria or hosts Morocco in the final.
