Sadio Mane scored the triumphant punishment to send Senegal through to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Much as both the primary leg in Cairo and the Africa Cup of Nations last in Cameroon demonstrated, there was practically nothing to divide the different sides after Boulaye Dia had put the hosts ahead in the fourth moment.
While the away side had offered minimal from a going after perspective, Senegal attempted to cut out some obvious possibilities themselves, until Watford's Ismalia Sarr squandered a great opportunity with ten minutes to go.
Played through by Mane, the forward shot wide with only the goalkeeper to beat.
In truth, Senegal truly ought to have won this in additional time. Egyptian manager Mohamed El Shenawy pulled off various shocking recoveries to take the challenge to the lottery of a punishment shootout.
The initial four spot-kicks were missed with the most eminent coming from Mohamed Salah. Calm all through the game, the Premier League's top scorer burst his shot over the bar.
Club colleague Mane, in any case, had no such issue. Taken underneath a sky lit by laser pens, he determinedly preserved his side's place in Qatar.
