Watch Senegal Vs. Algeria Live Stream: 2019 Africa Cup Of Nations Final, Start Time, Preview, How To Watch
The 2019 Africa Cup of Nations championship is all set to be decided on Friday, with one team in only its second AFCON final appearance, while the other makes a third title bid. For favored Senegal, now the top-ranked team in Africa at 22nd in the world, per FIFA, a victory would give them their first pan-African championship after a penalty shootout loss to Cameroon in 2002, their only previous final appearance.
But for their opponents, Algeria, the title would be their second in three tries, as France 24 reported. The Desert Foxes have faced Nigeria twice in the final, losing in 1980, but winning in 1990. Now the Lions of Teranga and Desert Foxes clash to decide the 2019 title in a match that will live stream from Cairo.

The final will be a rematch of a group stage game on June 27 won by Algeria 1-0 on a 49th-minute goal by Youcef Belaili, per Soccerway. The Desert Foxes reached the final by barely edging Nigeria, the team they had met twice before in the AFCON final, 2-1, thanks to a goal by Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez on what was virtually the final kick of the game.
Current Senegal Coach Aliou Cisse captained the 2002 Senegal team that lost the final on penalties, and he said that the painful loss 17 years ago is what drove him to become the coach of his home nation’s national side, according to Punch Media.
“Having lost that final, I still have it on my mind,” Cisse said on Thursday. “What motivated me to become a coach was to be able to take Senegal to the final. My players told me they would do better than my generation.”
