Salah's Egypt, Mane's Senegal into African Cup semifinals

The Hindu  

The biggest stars of African football are on course to meet in their continent's biggest game. Mohamed Salah's Egypt and Sadio Mané's Senegal reached the African Cup of Nations semifinals on Sunday. Salah scored the equalizer and created the winner to inspire Egypt's comeback to beat Morocco 2-1 after extra time in the day's first quarterfinal. Mané set up Famara Diedhiou for Senegal's opener in a 3-1 win over Equatorial Guinea later at the same Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde. Equatorial Guinea did get its goal seven minutes later but the introduction of Kouyaté and Sarr as substitutes paid off big time for Senegal coach Aliou Cissé.
