Senegal's victory marked their second appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations final, with the team last reaching the title decider 17 years ago.
On July 14, 2019, the team defeated Tunisia 1-0 in a tense semi-final match at the 30 June stadium in Cairo, with the winning goal coming from a Dylan Bronn own goal in extra time.
The goal was scored when goalkeeper Mouez Hassen pushed a free-kick against the head of Bronn, and the ball went backwards into the net with 11 minutes gone in extra time.
Senegal will miss star defender Kalidou Koulibaly for the final against Algeria or Nigeria, who meet in Cairo later on July 14, 2019, after he was yellow-carded and received an automatic one-match suspension.
Current coach Aliou Cisse made one change to the team that defeated Benin in the quarter-finals, promoting 20-year-old forward Krepin Diatta to replace Keita Balde.
