With 6 points, Egypt qualified for the round of 16 and they have been so lucky ever since then till they reach the final stage, it's not that they play anything special at the Africa cup of Nation, it's just that lucky is on their side, they've been playing penalties and they've been winning but things turn around in the final, their keeper that they have believe in can't save much balls except only one ball but Mendy that people doubt when it comes to penalty saved two penalties.

I count the first penalty Egypt lost as Mendy's save because if he didn't have the sense of bowing his head for the ball to go out, the ball would have hit his head after the ball hit the gaol pole and it would have score. Both Senegal and Egypt players played their penalties at the right side, I know that is where Egyptians goalkeeper's weakness is but I don't even know where Mendy's weakness is because i never see him saving penalty but he saved one for his country.

I've been wondering what is written on the bottle given to Gabaski (the Egyptians goalkeeper) but after the penalty, he left it on pitch and camera 📷 displayed it very well for the world to see, what is written there is the name of the Senegal players and where they do play their penalties too. Those that wrote it for him must have made so much findings about the players, they must have watch their highlights and see what they are up to and obviously, Gabaski went for almost all the balls.

Gabaski went for all the balls but he didn't catch them because the balls were too fast for him to catch, most especially the first one Kounibali played. Sadio Mané played the last penalty to the same place that almost all of them played it to but he make sure it's fast more than how Gabaski could be fast because the ball has passed even before Gabaski could fly to it. Senegal have raised the AFCON for the first time in history.
