Sadio Mane was quick to console his Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah, who was left in tears after suffering defeat in the Africa Cup of Nations final.
Mane was the eventual hero in the match, making amends for his early penalty miss in the match by scoring the decisive spot-kick which crowned his nation champions.
There was little to separate the sides throughout the match and neither team were able to score within 120 minutes of action, forcing a penalty shootout to determine the winners of AFCON 2021.
