However, I can offer you a summary based on the AFCON 2025 semifinal match information from the search results, which directly relates to the headline you mentioned: **AFCON Semifinal Summary:** **Senegal Defeats Egypt 1-0 in AFCON Semifinal** Senegal advanced to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final after securing a 1-0 victory against Egypt in the semifinal held in Tangier, Morocco on Wednesday.[1][3] Sadio Mané scored the decisive goal in the 78th minute, chesting down the ball before striking it low past goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy.[1][3] The match was notably cautious from Egypt's perspective, with the team managing only one shot on target throughout the entire contest.[2] Despite Mohamed Salah scoring four goals during the tournament before the semifinal, he had minimal impact in this crucial match.[2][3] This result marks a significant disappointment for Salah, who continues his quest for an AFCON title despite Egypt being the tournament's record holder with seven titles.[2] The 33-year-old has never won the continental championship despite his exceptional global performances.[2] Senegal's victory was achieved despite losing defender Kalidou Koulibaly to injury early in the match.[1] The win represents Senegal's advance to their fourth Nations Cup final and third final appearance in the last four tournaments.[3] Egypt's excessively defensive approach proved ineffective, with the team failing to generate meaningful attacking opportunities until the final minutes.[3] The loss means Egypt will compete for third place, while Salah's continental title drought continues into another year.[1]
