Mane banks on experience for first AFCON title against Egypt
Senegal forward, Sadio Mane, believes their experience will be an advantage when they face Egypt in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations final this evening at the Olembe Stadium, Cameroon.
Mane and his teammates are seeking to win the title for the first time since Senegal made its debut appearance in 1965.
Mane scored his third goal of the tournament in the Indomitable Lions’ 3-1 semi-final defeat of Burkina Faso on Wednesday and Liverpool forward is confident that they have what it takes to lift the trophy.
