00:00One, two, three.
00:04Under way the under 17 Africa Cup of Nations final.
00:09Senegal, the 2023 champions taking on Tanzania.
00:15Tantalizingly close to a first ever title.
00:19Be eyes on their players and no wonder as they try and pick their way through.
00:24And they do it with quality and an end product.
00:28Are Tanzania on their way to making history?
00:37Amis Miambo gets them off to a flyer.
00:48Senegal shocked.
00:51Tanzania terrifying.
00:55The young Lions of Taranga as they have the rest of the tournament.
01:01Superbly played into feet.
01:03But what great composure.
01:07Anis Miambo.
01:08Lukman.
01:09Imbela.
01:10Sarri.
01:12Just cushioned the ball.
01:14Amis Miambo.
01:16Just tucked it past a stranded Asansar.
01:23The keeper.
01:25Given no chance.
01:27Tanzania.
01:28Into an early lead.
01:31Nigel.
01:32Just looked to try and settle in.
01:34Is Tiano.
01:34So.
01:35Brilliant ball into midfield.
01:37It's a lovely one two.
01:40Maybe not the best end product.
01:43Taking on the shot.
01:45But.
01:46Sugarman.
01:47Conister now.
01:48They do only trail by the solitary goal.
01:52Tanzania now are the ones wanting a free kick.
01:54But it's swung in.
01:55Loops in.
01:56The header.
01:57Almost catching.
02:00Abdallah out.
02:01The Tanzanian goal.
02:03Re-adjusting brilliantly.
02:05To keep.
02:06Score blank.
02:14Tanzania felt this was a foul.
02:18This is where the danger lie.
02:23Fabulous header.
02:25Just trying to loop it in.
02:29Strong hand.
02:30From that.
02:31J. Avdallah.
02:35All right.
02:36Wants to get on with things quickly.
02:38Well a high fit there.
02:40And.
02:40A picking as well.
02:44Poor decision making.
02:47Bojie.
02:49See.
02:50Clear.
02:51That was going to be a high boot.
02:54Did it anyway.
02:56He's paid a price.
03:08Here is.
03:09Suleiman Faye.
03:11Can he create.
03:13With that left boot.
03:14Out.
03:17Numbers up.
03:19With the looping ball.
03:20Well it wasn't a good delivery.
03:23It almost turned into something special.
03:29Looping cross.
03:31A little too close for.
03:32For.
03:33Comfort.
03:34And actually.
03:35Abdallah.
03:36Happy to see it wide.
03:43He was trying for it.
03:45Terrible effort.
03:46Here.
03:47Getting Demo.
03:51Want to see that counter.
03:54Back.
03:56Once an opportunity missed.
04:00Once ball in.
04:03Senegal.
04:04Senegal's chance.
04:05To go on the break.
04:07Super pace and power.
04:09But really well held up.
04:11To allow numbers back.
04:18And that's the end.
04:20Of a first half.
04:22Or is it?
04:24And the referee.
04:26Now has indicated.
04:28The half is over.
04:30Well Tanzania.
04:32In their first ever.
04:34Final.
04:36Afcon of any age.
04:38The players look to have come of age.
04:41As they struck early.
04:43To lead this.
04:45By a goal to nil.
04:46Lukman.
04:47Imbalasalu.
04:48Was found by.
04:49Dimas.
04:50Atanasi.
05:04So Tanzania.
05:04Get us back.
05:05Under way.
05:06Serengeti boys.
05:07Leading by goal to nil.
05:11Lianesa.
05:13Ganselu.
05:14The coach.
05:16They led them on this.
05:18Much better from his side.
05:23Recovered from losing their opening game.
05:25They get the first meaningful shot of the second half.
05:29Main man the commissioner.
05:32Suleman Faye.
05:33Striking through.
05:35Adjie Abdallah though.
05:36Comfortably behind it.
05:40Back.
05:41Serengeti.
05:42Header down.
05:43Just wide of the target.
05:44But oh.
05:45So much better.
05:47From Senegal.
05:47And it's it.
05:48Bengay.
05:49Who started the move.
05:50Who looked to try and finish it.
05:56Full backs combining.
05:59Tough one.
06:01With Bengay to try and hit the target.
06:03Under pressure.
06:07Wanted to make a real weapon tonight.
06:10And Dara will hope for a better delivery.
06:14Not much better.
06:16Scored.
06:17The IE.
06:19Constant press.
06:21Across.
06:23Youth setups.
06:26Set piece.
06:27Can they do better from this.
06:28Near post.
06:29Great save.
06:30But it's fallen perfectly.
06:31The IE.
06:32And Senegal.
06:33Have their equaliser.
06:41Seti Naissa.
06:42Aydana.
06:43The coach said.
06:44They could be pivotal.
06:47And so it's proven.
06:50Ajay Abdallah looks stunned.
06:55And he was left completely exposed.
07:02In the right place.
07:04At the right time.
07:05It's the substitute.
07:07Ibrahima Dion.
07:10He's been on the pitch for a matter of minutes.
07:13And he's already plundered.
07:15Not just his second goal of the tournament.
07:18But a vital leveller.
07:23A great flick on.
07:25Matisse had said.
07:27Looking to.
07:28Emilio Sadio's delivery.
07:30Oh it's a bit of a flap.
07:33Abdallah is the required.
07:36End product which is out of his box.
07:46And.
07:47He models his game on.
07:50Ronwen Williams.
07:52Yeah.
07:52Amelie Sundowns.
07:53It's South African.
07:54Goalkeeper.
08:04It's going to be a fall again.
08:06He's called there by the ref.
08:11And again.
08:13Third ball for.
08:17Senegal.
08:22And I think that's going to be the end of it.
08:26And while we see this last challenge.
08:39Of an arm wrestle of a final here in Morocco 2026.
08:43Under 17 Africa Cup of Nations.
08:48The keeper gets a touch.
08:50But not enough to deny.
08:53Senegal's number 10.
08:54And then.
08:58Cooley struck.
09:00To.
09:01Oh a strong hand.
09:03You can hear it.
09:04Picked up by the microphones.
09:07Fucking.
09:07Yes he can.
09:10Beautiful spot kick sends the goalkeeper the wrong way.
09:17With so much more pressure.
09:19But he strikes it with aplomb.
09:24In bet.
09:26Gelendi.
09:26Long.
09:27Night.
09:28If it continues like this.
09:34Plays the conductor to the crowd.
09:40Really.
09:42Oh he's got it all wrong.
09:44He got so much right.
09:48Misses.
09:49Against Morocco.
09:52But no error here.
09:54So calm.
09:55So cool.
09:59And it's been saved.
10:01The dream of a first.
10:04East African champion.
10:05Is over.
10:07Because Senegal have won it out.
10:10Between the penalty shootout.
10:11Masters.
10:13Both needed them.
10:15Through the quarter finals and semi-finals.
10:18But it is Senegal.
10:20Who have edged Tanzania.
10:244-2.
10:27And they.
10:28Are once again.
10:30Under 17.
10:31African champions.
10:41Heartbreak.
10:43For a brave and talented Tanzania side.
10:47Senegal took time.
10:49To get up and running.
10:50To get up and running.
10:51To get up,
10:52Yeah.
11:01Laxies.
