YAOUNDE (Reuters) - Senegal’s experience of playing in the last Africa Cup of Nations final will be a "good asset" for them in Sunday’s title decider, said forward Sadio Mane.

Senegal, who beat Burkina Faso 3-1 on Wednesday to reach the final, have yet to win the continental title but came close in Cairo in 2019.
