Senegal beat Egypt 4-2 on penalties to clinch their first Afcon win after two previous final defeats.

Coach Aliou Cissé, who as a player missed a crucial penalty in the 2002 final defeat and was the coach when the team was defeated in the finals three years ago, was praised online:

Aliou Cisse A local Coach! A Champion! A Legend! RESPECT! 🙌🏽 #SENEGY #AFCON2021 pic.twitter.com/RohSTQO6Hc
