It is another case of so near yet so far away, the Lions of Teranga having lost another final in 2002 in Mali.<br /> <br /> Within the opening minute, Algeria was one goal up. Bounedjah picked the ball after Chekou Kouyate had missed his attempted tackle on the left, drifted in and struck a shot that came off Salif Sane, the man coming in for the suspended Koulubaly.<br /> <br /> The ball took a punishing dip beyond the keeper into the net with one half of the stadium stunned into silence while the other half in green and white of Les Fennecs roared in deafening crescendo.<br /> <h3> <a href="https://ofmtv.com/afcon-2019-champions-senegal-vs-algeria-0-1/" target="_blank">Watch Senegal vs Algeria (0-1) Full Highlights & Goals</a></h3> <video autoplay="0" controls="1" height="400" id="tv_newsvideo" width="100%"> <source src="https://ofmtv.com/s0a1.mp4" type="video/mp4"></source> Your browser does not support HTML5 video. </video> <br /> <h3> Algeria’s tact of starting off quick and playing the ball in Senegal’s half worked perfectly until halfway through when the Teranga Lions started roaring slowly into the game.</h3> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDx3Wsf-r3AxucGdlWyRM2sFPCt-vWEVhAluaAfbm7S7XbGPPjx1mI3PF8dr5nFTT2zMYh8O1Wku2ncOPhhsRmQeBGFrKUZbrw0ViL0sbtTt4yyburKOEFURR-t8YFJbbU2l0kJWlhJ79u/s1600/Algeria-win-Africa-Cup-of-Nations-2019-100x562.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="562" data-original-width="1000" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDx3Wsf-r3AxucGdlWyRM2sFPCt-vWEVhAluaAfbm7S7XbGPPjx1mI3PF8dr5nFTT2zMYh8O1Wku2ncOPhhsRmQeBGFrKUZbrw0ViL0sbtTt4yyburKOEFURR-t8YFJbbU2l0kJWlhJ79u/s640/Algeria-win-Africa-Cup-of-Nations-2019-100x562.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Algeria win the Africa Cup of Nations!

The burly forward chested the ball down from 20 yards out and took a sweet volley on the half turn, his stinging effort going just over.<br /> <br /> At the stroke of halftime, Sane akmost made amends in exact same fashion he had conceded in the first minute, but this time is strike from range off a corner was deflected over the bar.<br /> <br /> The second half started in as much pace as the first had ended and Senegal thought they had been given a lifeline on the hour mark when Djamel Benlamri seemed to have handled the ball inside the box off a Sarr cross.<br /> <br /> However, after consulting the VAR, the referee overturned his earlier decision of a penalty and gave possession back to the Algerians.<br /> <br /> Senegal kept their push on and came close again in the 65th minute when Sarr beautifully picked up a long ball from Lamine Gassama before striding into the box, gliding past the keeper but his eventual shot came off the side netting.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Youssef Sabaly was next to line up an effort when he picked the ball on the left from Sadio Mane before moving into good shooting range, but his rocket of a shot was smothered behind for a corner by Mbohli.<br /> <br /> On the other end, Algeria who were pushed on the wall by Senegal managed to conjure a chance at goal off a set piece, but Youcef Bellaili’s curling effort was deflected for another corner that was well defended.<br /> <br /> With the clock ticking and a goal urgently needed, Senegal boss Aliou Cisse made changes, Saivet coming off for Mbaye Diagne, Niang came off for Keita Balde while earlier, Krepin Diatta had come on for Papa Ndiaye.<br /> <br /> Djamel Belmadi responded by making a defensive change, Sofiane Feghouli paving way for Mehdi Jean.<br /> <br /> <h3> Algeria managed to hold on to the score-line and secured the Cup of Nations crown with an unbeaten run.</h3> <br /> <br /> <br /> Source: cafonline.com

Senegal thus joined Algeria as the automatic qualifiers from Group C, with the latter maintaining their 100 per cent record after a 3-0 routing over Tanzania in the other clash at the Al Salam Stadium, also in Cairo.<br /> <br /> As expected, it was a mountain for Kenya, who needed to avoid defeat to remain in contention after their superb comeback win over neighbours Tanzania last Thursday at the June 30 Stadium.<br /> <br /> However, goalkeeper Patrick Matasi denied Senegal talisman Mane from the spot on 29 minutes after Otieno had fouled his marker. The action ensured both teams headed for the interval even, but it turned out to be a different story in the second part of the game.<br /> <br /> <br /> Senegal resumed like wounded Lions and Sarr broke the deadlock three minutes past the hour mark to give the West Africans a deserved lead.<br /> <br /> Mane made amends to double the score on 71 minutes before completing his brace from the spot seven minutes from the spot after Otieno had felled Sarr, to ensure a triumphant passage into the next round.<br /> <br /> Kenya forward Micheal Olunga was unlucky to grab a consolation for the Harambee Stars after Amigo Gomis, who replaced Edouard Mendy during the warm-up, denied him with a good save from his long range strike.<br /> <br /> Algeria topped the group on the maximum nine points, three richer than Senegal with Kenya on three points. Tanzania finished at the bottom pointless. Kenya will have to wait till tomorrow's to learn if they may scrap through as one of the four best third place teams.<br /> <br /> Total Man of the Match: Sadio Mane (Senegal)<br /> <br /> <br /> Source: cafonline.com
