Senegal has booked its ticket to the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations thanks to a hard-fought victory over Egypt (1-0).

Scorer of the winning goal in the second half, Sadio Mané has confirmed a remarkable trend for the Lions of Teranga: his team never loses when he finds the net, across all competitions.

Indeed, Senegal has won 38 matches and drawn 6 whenever the Al-Nassr winger has scored. A true talisman for his nation.

But that's not all—Sadio Mané is now involved in 20 goals at the Africa Cup of Nations (11 goals, 9 assists), setting a record for a player in the competition in the 21st century.

According to statistics gathered by the specialized X account "Stats foot," the former Liverpool and Bayern Munich star has also become the player with the most AFCON appearances as a starter, tied with Kolo Touré at 28 matches.
