Senegal have qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Southampton winger Sadio Mane, his nation's talisman, played the full 90 minutes as Senegal battled to a brave 1-0 win in Egypt, secured by Stoke City striker Mame Biram Diouf's goal after eight minutes.

Senegal are now guaranteed a place in the tournament, which runs from January 17 to February 8 in Equatorial Guinea, no matter what happens in their final game against whipping boys Botswana.
