Algeria have won the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with a 1-0 victory over Senegal.
Baghdad Bounedjah scored a freak goal in the 3rd minute when his shot took a huge deflection off Salif Sane and looped over goalkeeper Alfred Gomis.
Senegal, who have never won the competition, were awarded a penalty for handball in the second half but it was overturned after a VAR review.
Algeria closed out the rest of the game to win their first title since 1990.
Senegal, making only their second appearance in the final since 2002, dominated for large periods but struggled to make the most of their possession
