Senegal Vs Egypt LIVE Score, AFCON 2025 Semi-Final: Goalles At Break Between Lions Of Teranga And Pharaohs

A rare foray forward from Egypt, with Marmoush teeing up Ashour, whose lay-off for Trezeguet is a bit too powerful. The winger keeps the move alive, but his flick-back to Ashour results in the latter fouling Diatta, and Senegal have the ball back again.

10 minutes into the second half, and it has been more of the same with the match yet to spark to life. Senegal have continued to boss the ball, but have been pretty toothless in front of the opposition box. Egypt, meanwhile, are happy to sit back and wait for the counter. Safe to say, not the best viewing for the neutrals in Tangier.

Both sets of players are out of the tunnel, and Egypt get the second half underway. It has been a rather cagey first 45 minutes, so we have everything to play for in the second half.

One change at the break for both sides. Egypt, who did not have a shot on target in the first half, bring on Trezeguet in place of left-back El Fotouh. Senegal replace Habib Diarra, already on a yellow card, with Lamine Camara.

The late spice has cooled down, with the referee sorting the issue out between the two head coaches. Egypt receives a free-kick in the first minute of the four minutes of added time, but it misses everyone and goes behind for a corner. The referee brings the first half to an end, and it's goalless at the break, despite a lot of attacking intent shown by both sides.

It's all ticking off now. A crunching tackle from Salah on Mane wins the Senegal winger a free-kick. The referee, Pierre Atcho, looked like he put his hands in his pocket but opted against booking Salah. This leads to a heated moment between the two coaches on the touchline, with staff having to come in and diffuse the situation.

Senegal are pushing hard and dictating the tempo of the game, but there's a lack of fluency in the opponent's third for the Lions of Teranga. A goood ball from Pape Gueye was received by Mane on the left post, but his cut back was gathered by El Shenway before it could reach Jackson.

A miserable end to Koulibaly's night. Already suspended from the finals, the centre-back appeared to hurt his groin during a touchline duel against Marmoush. Attempting to soldier through, Koulibaly has finally had too much and is subbed off by, with Mamadou Sarr coming on in his place.

A brilliant through ball from Ashour almost set Marmoush free, but the Man City forward was hacked down by Koulibaly. The referee immediately shows the Senegalese skipper a yellow card, which means that he will miss the AFCON final for the second time in his career, if Senegal secure qualification.

It has been a high intensity start from Senegal, who are pressing high and hard. It bears fruit, as Abdelmaguid has a slight grab on Jackson's shirt and earns the first yellow card of the game. He will miss the finals, if Egypt secure qualification.

Referee Pierre Atcho blows his whistle, and Nicolas Jackson takes the kick-off for Senegal to get us underway. The winner of this match will take on either Nigeria or Senegal in the finals, so stay tuned!

Tonight's semi-final clash is a repeat of the 2021 AFCON final, where Senegal defeated Egypt on penalties to lift their first-ever continental title. That night in Yaounde, Sadio Mane scored the decisive spot-kick while Mohamed Salah had been denied the chance to take one.

Now, three years later, the two former Liverpool teammates meet again on opposite sides, with Mane spearheading Senegal's attack and Salah carrying Egypt's hopes of ending a 16-year AFCON drought.
