01:21the warning sign for Lamin Sani's side

01:44with
01:45quality and an end product are Tanzania on their way to making history
01:56Amis Miambo gets them off to a flyer
02:08Senegal shocked Tanzania terrifying the young lines of Taranga as they have the rest of the tournament
02:20superbly played into feet but what great composure

02:56it's a lovely one too
02:59maybe not the best end product
03:03taking on the shot
03:05Sunaman
03:06Konecena
03:07fending the ball
03:09and so quickly getting to the edge of Senegal's box
03:12here's the goal scorer
03:14and now a one flashed wide
03:18certainly caught hold of it
03:20Idrissa
03:21Kilendembo
03:24nowhere near the target from the fullback
03:32Kilendembo
03:32was one of
03:34do only trail by the solitary goal
03:37Tanzania now are the ones wanting a free kick but it's swung in
03:40loops in
03:42the header almost catching
03:45Abdallah out
03:46the Tanzanian goal readjusting brilliantly
03:50to keep the score blank
03:59Tanzania felt this was a foul
04:04this is where the danger lie
04:08fabulous header
04:09just trying to loop it in
04:14strong hand
04:19Tanzania are getting in behind the striking goal
04:24vital block
04:26to deny
04:27Tanzania a second
04:30Mbelasaru
04:32looked in
04:34but Lukman denied
04:36lovely ball it's again
04:38Antanasie pulling the string
04:41wants to get on with things quickly
04:43well a high fit there and
04:46a booking as well
04:49poor decision making
04:53Bougie
04:54see
04:56clear that that was going to be a high boot
04:59did it anyway
05:01he's paid a price
05:13here is
05:14Suleman Faye
05:16can he create
05:18with that left boot
05:22numbers up
05:24but the looping ball
05:26well it wasn't a good delivery
05:28it almost turned into something special
05:35looping cross
05:36a little too close for
05:38comfort
05:40Najee Abdallah
05:41happy to see it wide
05:48he was trying for it
05:51terrible effort
05:53he was able to let it drop over his head and then hook it over his shoulder
05:58couple of bounces but then a nice touch from Sal
06:02and Aji
06:05and now looking to get it behind
06:08just wanted to lift it with Aji Abdallah coming towards him
06:12too much on it
06:18Mohamed Wanya
06:20certainly getting a chance to stretch his legs
06:22he's man of the match
06:23in the semi-final against Morocco
06:28just a challenging little flick to try and get it up and over Aji Abdallah
06:34little touch from the goalkeeper
06:37although it didn't look to be going on target
06:39Kylian Demo
06:40I want to see that counter back
06:48what's an opportunity missed
06:51once ball in
06:55Senegal's chance to go on the break
06:57super pace and power
07:01but really well held up to allow numbers back
07:09and that's the end
07:12of a first half
07:14or is it
07:16and the referee now has indicated the half is over
07:22well Tanzania in their first ever
07:26final
07:28I've gone of any age
07:30the players look to have come of age
07:33as they struck early
07:35to lead this by a goal to nil
07:37Lukman Imbalasalu was found by
07:40Dimas Atanasi
07:48as the defending champions
07:52they carried the weight of the expectation of the whole continent
07:56and of course the reputation
07:58so we'll see if they will be able to come back for the second half
08:02and take the trophy back home to Senegal
08:04it's the second half of the final here on B-Sports
08:22so Tanzania get us back underway
08:25Serengeti boys leading by goal to nil
08:29Lianeza
08:30and Sang-Ganzelu the coach
08:34they've led them on this
08:37much better from his side
08:40they recovered from losing their opening game
08:44they get the first meaningful shot of the second half
08:48main man the commissioner
08:50Suleman Faye striking through
08:53Anji Abdallah though comfortably behind it
08:59El Anji Sao works it on
09:01clipped it behind that it's a wonderful ball
09:04if the touch should be better they might have been in they may still have an opportunity
09:09it could have been oh so much more though for Segafal in Boji
09:15instead it's just a corner
09:21short one as the cavalry is arriving late deflection
09:26as he managed to keep it aimed at Anji Abdallah
09:29as he managed to keep it aimed at Anji Abdallah
09:30Sierro Sao header down
09:32just wide of the target but oh so much better
09:35from Senegal and it's a Bengay who started the move
09:39who looked to try and finish it
09:49to try and hit the target under pressure
09:56wanted to make a real weapon tonight
09:58and Dara will hope for a better delivery
10:04not much better scored the IE
10:09constant presence across the youth setups
10:16set piece can they do better from this
10:17near post flick on great save but it's fallen perfectly
10:21and Senegal have their equaliser
10:31the coach said they could be pivotal
10:36and so it's proven
10:39Anji Abdallah looks stunned
10:45but he was left completely exposed
10:52in the right place at the right time it's the substitute
10:56Ibrahima Dion
10:59he's been on the pitch for a matter of minutes
11:02and he's already plundered
11:04not just his second goal of the tournament
11:07but a vital leveller
11:12a great flick on
11:15Matissev Seymboj thinks about the shot
11:18but he should have been passing it
11:21what a block though although it seems to have come at a cost for Kasim Maimbo
11:38the body's down as the exerts start to really tell
11:47the chance that he is captain is showing the desire
11:51looking to Emilio Sadio's delivery
11:55oh it's a bit of a flap
11:58Abdallah is the required end product which is out of his box
12:12Lajib Abdallah said he models this game on Ronwen Williams
12:17yeah Ameloo's sundowns it's South African goalkeeper
12:29That's going to be a foul again.
12:31Is he called there by the ref?
12:36And again, there's both for Senegal.
12:47And I think that's going to be the end of it.
12:52And, well, we see this last challenge.
13:04Of an arm wrestle of a final here in Morocco 2026.
13:08Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations.
13:23The keeper gets a touch.
13:25But not enough to deny Senegal's number 10.
13:31And again, Cooley struck.
13:37Frustration for Abdallah.
13:40Relief.
13:42Stepping up to the plate.
13:47Alec Youssef.
13:49Oh, a strong hand.
13:51You can hear it.
13:53Picked up by the microphones.
13:57But again, the ball's ultimately ended up in the back of the net to the relief of the goal scorer.
14:16Can he keep the Senegal train trucking?
14:21Yes, he can.
14:24Beautiful spot kick sends the goalkeeper the wrong way.
14:34Never in doubt.
14:37Three from three now.
14:39From quarterfinals to this final.
14:43But this one, with so much more pressure.
14:46But he strikes it with aplomb.
14:52Limbe Gelendi.
14:56Means we're all square at two apiece.
15:03Score two minutes after coming on as a substitute.
15:07Long run up.
15:10Long night.
15:12If it continues like this.
15:17Plays the conductor to the crowd.
15:24Really a wonderful spot kick.
15:26Goalkeeper picked the right way.
15:28Didn't matter.
15:34Sar.
15:36Oh, he's got it all wrong.
15:38He got so much right.
15:42But not that time.
15:46Senegal's captain calls for calm.
15:49But it is advantage Senegal.
15:59Well, it's onus is against Morocco.
16:03But no error here.
16:05So calm.
16:07So cool.
16:09Chertior may have opened the door for a second under 17 AFCON crime.
16:29does mean
16:31that this one is pivotal.
16:37Tanzania
16:38must score
16:41or they
16:42will hand the title to Senegal.
16:46Emil Sadio
16:47with the pressure.
16:50And it's been saved.
16:53The dream of a first
16:55East African champion
16:56is over
16:58because Senegal
17:00have won it out
17:01between the penalty shootout
17:03Masters.
17:03both needed them
17:06through the quarterfinals
17:08and semifinals.
17:09But it is Senegal
17:11who have edged
17:13Tanzania
17:154-2
17:17and they
17:19are once again
