Breaking: Senegal through to AFCON final after beating Tunisia

The Senegalese national football team have qualified for the final of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Egypt after beaten Tunisia 1-0 on Sunday.

An own goal by Tunisia’s Dylan Bronn in the 100th minute gave Senegal the only goal which has taken them to the AFCON final match.

The match had ended goalless on 90 minutes, which necessitated an extra 30 minutes.

Both sides had penalties saved in normal time before Tunisia defender Dylan Bronn inadvertently headed the only goal of the game into his own net.

Mouez Hassen tipped Sadio Mane’s free-kick onto Bronn’s head as Senegal – who face Algeria or Nigeria – moved a step closer to their first Afcon title.

Tunisia had a late penalty award overturned by VAR.
