Senegal crowned CHAN champs to complete African double

Senegal made history on Saturday when they completed a dramatic double by beating hosting nation Algeria 5-4 on penalties after a scoreless draw in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) final. Golden Boot winner Aymen Mahious had a chance to win a competition reserved for footballers playing in their country of birth when he stepped forward to take the 10th spot-kick. Ousmane Diouf calmly converted to edge Senegal ahead amid whistling from many in a sell-out 39,120 crowd at the Stade Nelson Mandela in Algiers.
