Mane shot to his left and Gabaski dove the correct direction to make the stop.

Before the save, Mane’s club team-mate Mohamed Salah appeared to give Gabaski advise.

Senegal defeated Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea and Burkina Faso by a combined score of 8-1 in the knockout stages on their way to the title game.

Egypt, meanwhile, scraped by two continental heavyweights in Ivory Coast and Morocco before advancing past Cameroon on penalties in their semi-final.

Entering the final, Mane had scored three goals while Salah had scored two.
