Senegal struck an unprecedented goal in the Africa Cup of Nations final against Egypt at the Stade d’Olembé in Yaounde, as the match headed into extra time.
In the 100th minute, a cross was delivered into the penalty area, but Egyptian goalkeeper Mohamed Abou Gabal failed to deal with it cleanly under pressure.
The ball slipped from his hands and crossed the goal line, handing Senegal the breakthrough in a moment rarely seen on a stage of this size.
The incident was revealed on video as a unique kind of goal for Senegal in the AFCON final, coming from a goalkeeper’s mishandling rather than a direct finish.
