Algeria Beats Senegal To win 2019 AFCON

The Desert Foxes of Algeria have won the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with a 1-0 victory over Senegal. The final match was played this evening in Egypt, the host country for the tournament.

Algeria's Baghdad Bounedjah scored a freak goal in the 3rd minute when his shot took a huge deflection off a Senegalese player and looped in for Algeria.

This will be Algeria’s second time of winning the AFCON after 29 years.
