It’s time for the final four of the African Cup of Nations, with heavy action to kick off the festivities. Sadio Mané’s Senegal faces Mohamed Salah’s Egypt on Wednesday in Tangier (Morocco) for the first semi-final of this edition. 0-1 scorers from Mali in the quarters, the Lions of Téranga advance as favorites but will have to deliver a big match to reach the grand final.
Because opposite, the Pharaohs had at the same time eliminated Côte d’Ivoire (3-2), although they were the title holders. This will be an opportunity for Mané and Salah, the two former partners at Liverpool, to meet again on the pitch. The winner of this tough confrontation will await that of Morocco-Nigeria (match at 9 p.m.) in the final in Rabat.
The Senegal-Egypt match is scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m. this Wednesday, January 14. The meeting will be followed on television on beIN Sports 1.
