Jackson and Senegal into AFCON final

Bayern’s Nicolas Jackson has reached the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The striker started in Tangiers on Wednesday as the Lions of Teranga claimed a 1-0 win over Egypt in the first semi-final. A tight affair was settled in the 78th minute by former Bayern man Sadio Mané, at which time Jackson’s team led the shot count 11-0.

Final on Sunday

Jackson will now have the chance to go for continental glory in Sunday’s final (20:00 CET) in Rabat. Senegal will face the winner of the second semi-final between Nigeria and hosts Morocco.
