CAN U17 : Le Sénégal écarte le Maroc aux tirs au but et rejoint la Tanzanie en finale
After a nail-biting finish, the national under-17 team emulated their senior counterparts on Thursday, May 28, 2026, by securing their place in the Africa Cup of Nations final. Facing Morocco in a thrilling semi-final played in Rabat, the Young Lions prevailed in a dramatic penalty shootout (7-6) after a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation time.
Starting the match with great initiative, Lamine Sané's men capitalized on their dominance in the 23rd minute thanks to Mouhamed Wagne, who pounced on a rebound after Souleymane "Commissaire" Faye's shot was saved. Solid in the second half, the Senegalese thought they had secured their qualification before being pegged back in stoppage time (90+9) by a very generous penalty, converted at the second attempt by Morocco's El Aoud.
But during the penalty shootout, Senegal's last line of defense, Assane Sarr, became a national hero, saving no fewer than four penalties to guide his team to victory. In the final, the national team will attempt to reclaim the African trophy won in 2023 against Tanzania, who earlier defeated Egypt, also in a penalty shootout (4-3).
