Majority didn't see this coming clearly at the very beginning of the competition.
Mane should be the next African best, Salah will be more selfish in the league, trying to score more goals in than Mane, as he's got 16 goals already.
Congratulations to the African giants.

I agree that Salah was playing too selfishly. But it is possible that he just wanted to take on the weight of the game and overstated his abilities. It cannot be said that he is a bad player, but unfortunately he did not manage to beat the great players from Senegal and especially goalkeeper. Congratulations to the winners, but a lot of respect to both teams for a very good game.

Am just looking at the stats of who has won the most trophies when it comes to the Afcon and am shocked to learn that Senegal had not won any not until today after beating the Egyptians on penalties.. Egypt were the team i wanted but the tournaments favorites Senegal did not disappoint, they went all the way and won it.

But all in all the keepers did put a good show to keep clean sheets which is good for their career stats.

This is a truly historic moment for the Senegalese national team. Congratulations because they showed futball at the highest world level. Certainly, thanks to this match, many scouts from around the world will get interested in a few players. As you have noticed, I'm sure the goalkeepers will probably get their first offers tomorrow because they showed really great.

Senegal goes home with the cup from the AFCONs finally after much stress and hard work. Mendy made everyone surprised today as he saved a penalty that was swinged to the right bar(this is something he barely does ) but maybe since he knew that it would bring to the progress of laying thier hands on the cup,he did it out of desperation and saved the ball.
It was looking so confusing because I thought that Egypt was gonna win at once when Senegal lost a penalty but they still defended thier goal by scoring another wonderful goal.
It was all fun out there in the gaming center. Congratulations to Senegal.

It makes me happy to see that and since it was for the first time, finally Mane got a title that will go down in history especially for him. Of course for the whole team, but I think a team also benefits as a whole when you have a player like him on the pitch. Everyone feels more motivated because everything is possible if you have a world class striker.

Who do you think should have been the goalie of the tournament ?
The Egyptians Goal keeper ? Senegalese ?

It is very hard to say which goalkeeper was better. In my opinion, both of them deserve huge congratulations on keeping a clean result throughout the full game. A lot of shots were fired at both gates. Senegal turned out to be a winner in this match and they shooted more times at the Egyptian gate. So we can say that the statistics show that it was the goalkeeper of Egypt who saved more shots.

Is that how you make your own comparisons? Egypt goalkeeper doesn't play for any premier league club or even in the championship and for that,he hasn't made any stat in that aspect so how then do you want him to be compared to a keeper that has played in a strong premier league club and has won the champions league? Isn't that even more insane?
I'm not a Chelsea fan but I can tell from my observation that Mendy is better than him( saving penalties might just be an advantage from his height) Grin

Even if I were to chose, I would have picked Senegal ahead of Egypt in course of this competition. Senegal have been up and doing right from the group stage. Egypts qualifications through the knock-our stage, down to the finals has just been by chance.

I wouldn't quite say so, Egypt faced tougher opponents getting to the finals when compared with Senegal. Although the Egyptian side were only winning their games by slight margins and penalties, i wouldn't quite say it's just been by chance, they were quite very tactical in their games, knowing when to defend and drag the game to penalties which is something they know they are very good at, they didn't miss any penalties up until today and their Goalkeeper is very good there as well. Unfortunately for them today, they were fairly confident before the penalties started that they will be the winning side having had more experience there and the pressure on Senegal, but it didn't go their way.

Mendy the goalkeeper played his part but it was not entirely to him, some Egyptian players that were selected for the penalties were quite nervous on the ball as well, reasons best know to them.

unpopular opinion. One of the worst African Cups in history and one of the worst champions and the worst runner-up in history, a crab team that played defending every game, all this is the fault of their coach, the ultra-defensive Queiroz.
Mo Salah dont make any difference horrible tournament for him, but its related to the saying above.
Senegal well.... yes its the champion but have one of the most powerfull teams and have luck in many games, Mane yes its the champion but not make any diference.
Only foward men that really make a diference was Aboubakar from Camerun 7 or 8 goals sadly for him dont its the champion.

Congratulations to Senegal for winning the AFCON and congratulations to Sadio Mane for not dissapointing me because I really want them to win. They have not done that before ( winning the AFCON) so is nice seeing them lifting the trophy for the first time, Mohamed Salah will be very sad just like his team mate for not lifting it for the 8th times but they did well in the tournament and should be proud of themselves.

Egypts qualifications through the knock-our stage, down to the finals has just been by chance. Had the Cameroonians added some extra effort on the semi finals, Egypt would have been left to fight for 3rd place. Through penalty, they managed it to the finals finals through the same penalty, Senegal have put them in 2nd place while, they lift there trophy home. I'm most proud of Sadio Mane and Mendy for ensuring that the team lifts this prestigious trophy. The Senegalese team deserved it.

Congratulations to the Senegalese team, a well deserved victory of the African nation's cup, although boring but what do you expect from the finals. Both teams were trying to be very cautious, the Egyptians weren't as lucky as they used to be previously in a penalty shootout, big well done to Mendy the Chelsea goal keeper was impressive all through the tournament, finally sadio mane has a trophy for this national team, he can now say he has completed a great achievement, what a career he is having. Congratulations to the whole team as well.

Only shame is the missed penalty by Mane in the 5th minute.

Never mind, he scored the winning penalty according to Livescores Cheesy

I am very happy for Mane and all the Senegal team for having won it. Mane is a true definition of being a work horse, even in Liverpool ahead of Salah.
I never watched any match of the whole tournament, but could always see updating news online and live scores. It seems Senegal tried as hard as they could even in this final match

Congratulations to the senegalese team for winning AFCON 2022, they really deserve to win the match after dominating the match in most of the duration of the match, they could have won the match in the normal duration time had Mane scored the penalty, congratulations to Mendy for adding AFCON medal to his awards, Egypt tried their best but weren't lucky this time around. The match was quite exciting and entertaining with both sides trying their best to score a goal but to no avail until penalty decided the winner.

Finally Senegal now has an AFCON title to their name. Congratulations to Mane and the team. They were the better team and deserved to win this tournament. Egypt were just lucky throughout the tournament to get to this level. I mean where was Mo Salad in all the 120minutee played. Although Mane missed the penalty, he was involved in the game trying his best to make the team win. Senegal should have easily won this in full time but they didn't take their chances.

I was in doubt Mane was going to score the final penalty knowing his record in the AFCON; In 2017, Sadio Mane missed a penalty against Cameroon. In 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗, Sadio Mane missed two penalty against Kenya and Uganda then misses another against Egypt in today game. E.Mendy save was the key moment, he never seized to impress me although he's bad at penalty. Congratulations again to Senegal, it felt like I was supporting my country all through the match, I really wanted them to win and thankfully they did.

Ps: Don't tell your friends all your secret, you might be frenemies someday. Mo salad betraying Mane was hilarious.

Despite a very good game and many shots fired at Egypt's net, Senegal failed to score either in basic time or in extra time. Unfortunately, unused opportunities often take revenge and it may end up unpleasantly for Senegal.

EDIT
Maybe not.. 4-2 for Senegal Wink

Aaaand thats it! Well done Senegal!

It is the first time for Senegal to win this Cup, CONGRATULATIONS for them!
Egypt was lucky and at the same time unlucky since they had less time to rest especially that this is the 4rd game in a raw to play for 120 minutes. They didn't miss a single penalty in 2 of them but in this game they missed two and with Mane scoring the game finished. Egyptian goalkeeper is one of the best player in this edition.

Congratulations to Senegal which was one I had placed a bet to win the tournament together with Cameroon,I got just 55 USD as winnings after betting 200,100 on each team.I would not be sad even if Egypt had won the tournament but I am glad for Senegal as it was their first time and they were one of the better teams of this edition.When the game got to penalties I thought most likely Egypt is going to win but they missed 2 penalties out of 4 and Mane was the last player of Senegal to hit the penalty and of course he would not miss twice in the same game.
