Senegal could win their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations title this Sunday, or become the first team to lose in 3 AFCON finals!
Senegal lost the finals to Algeria in 2019, but have shown in the going AFCON 2021 that they are indeed the best team in Africa (No1 in Africa current Fifa Ranking). Stirred by Sadio Mane (Mane of the Match), Senegal ditched Burkina Faso 3-1 in technical superiority and quality of play, to emerge in the AFCON finals again.
Is this the year the Lions of Teranga get to truly roar? All the signs is in their favour, but may face an uphill task if they are eventually going to meet host country Cameroon in the final.
Tonight, we will see the indomitable lions of Cameroon face the Pharaohs of Egypt, to decide who joins Senegal in the finals.
Tonight may be too much for the Egyptians to do the damage that the Senegalese may prefer, to make the final match an anti-climax for the host country.
For many reasons, you may want Cameroon to progress to the finals and eventually win, because the performances of Cameroonian national team in this tournament are mending bridges and stirring up unity in the country. And Vincent Aboubakar rising as the true starlight to shine in the heart of the citizens as he present a gift of the trophy to Samuel O'Eto (FA chairman) this Sunday.
But the terenga lions of Senegal may make all these a pipe dream, if Egypt fail to do the damage tonight.
