Baghdad Bounedjah netted the only goal of the match after two minutes to deny Sadio Mane's Senegal a victory dance after 90 minutes. Algeria’s Desert Foxes started with the same team that ended Nigeria’s Super Eagles quest for the trophy in last Sunday’s semifinal clash. Senegal brought on striker Mbaye Diagne for midfielder Saivet with 15 minutes to go, but the Desert Foxes, held on to keep off the Teranga Lions from scoring, with the scoreboard reading Senegal 0-1 Algeria. A result that meant Senegal will continue searching for their maiden AFCON trophy when hostilities commence in Cameroon at the 33rd edition of the tournament in 2021.
