Les joueurs et le jeu : Un Sadio Mané décisif envoie le Sénégal en finale

In a very tight semi-final, Senegal overcame a tenacious Egyptian team. Playing with great patience and intelligence, the Lions managed to avoid the trap set by the Pharaohs. In this hard-fought match, Sadio Mané proved decisive by scoring the goal that secured their place in the final.

Édouard Mendy: 6/10

Against an Egyptian team that managed only one shot on target, the Lions' last line of defense had a relatively quiet evening. However, he was alert on Egypt's final chance, making a point-blank save from Marmoush's shot (90+5).

Krépin Diatta: 6/10

Very active at the start of the match, Krépin was a constant threat down the right flank. Highly offensive, the versatile AS Monaco defender attempted several combinations to create an overload in attack. Defensively, he remained composed in his interventions.

Moussa Niakhaté: 6/10

Composed and highly focused in his defensive interventions, Moussa Niakhaté started the match well. Very effective in distributing the ball, he tried to create an overload in midfield. Unbeatable in duels, the Senegalese defender delivered another solid performance.

Kalidou Koulibaly not rated

Having received a yellow card early in the match, the Lions' captain was forced to leave the field due to an adductor injury. Replaced in the 23rd minute by Mamadou Sarr (5/10), the young defender, making his debut in this semi-final, responded well, displaying composure and restraint.

El Hadj Malick Diouf: 7/10

Very attacking on the left flank, he repeatedly tried to create danger in the Egyptian half. Even though he wasn't entirely accurate with his crosses and set pieces, the young West Ham defender was rock solid defensively, effectively neutralizing Mohamed Salah. A strong performance.

Idrissa Gana Gueye: 6/10

Present in midfield, Gana Gueye delivered another solid performance. Aggressive and valuable in the middle of the park, the record holder for international caps dictated the tempo by winning several duels and ensuring the team's balance.

Pape Guèye: 6/10

Very active, he tried to take control of the game. Deployed in a more attacking position, the former Marseille player could have put Senegal out of reach, but he completely missed his shot (87th minute). Despite the yellow card hanging over him, Pape Gueye was up for the challenge. He was replaced by Ismaïla Pathé Ciss (90+1).

Habib Diarra: 4/10

Once again deployed as a playmaker, the young Senegalese talent had a disappointing match. Despite his technical skills and creativity, Habib Diarra failed to make an impact. Booked at the end of the first half, he was replaced by Lamine Camara, who set up Sadio Mané's goal with a deflected initial shot.

Sadio Mané: 7/10

Much was expected of him in this match, and Sadio Mané delivered. Heavily involved in the attacking play, the former Liverpool striker combined tirelessly to exploit the weaknesses in the Egyptian defense. He was finally rewarded for his efforts, scoring the winning goal with a beautiful strike (78th minute).

Nicolas Jackson: 5/10

In his return to the starting lineup, Nicolas Jackson began the match well. With his back to goal, he tried to provide an extra attacking option. Looking sharp, he fired the first shot with a powerful effort that went over the bar. He was replaced by Ismaïla Sarr (85th minute).

Iliman Ndiaye: 6/10

Very lively in attack, Iliman Ndiaye was a constant threat to the Egyptian defense. Combining well with Krépin Diatta, he proved valuable in possession. However, the Everton striker failed to make a decisive impact. He was replaced by Chérif Ndiaye (85th minute), who tried to inject some dynamism into the attack.

    Depuis presque 2 mois, je vous dis que le Sénégal ne gagnera pas cette CAN, que ce sera gagnée par un pays arabe, mais personne ne m’écoute. L'entêtement et la rêverie dans ce pays, c’est quand-même choquant.

    L'Egypte semblait tuer le match pour allez aux tires au but.
    Malheureusement pour eux Sadio en tireur d'élite a sorti une de ses dernières cartouches pour les coup décisif.
    C'est le rôle d'un veritable leader. Savoir sortir ses troupes du pinged de l'enemie et les porter à la victoire. Une veritable leçon de Leadership.
