Stakes are high a few hours ahead of the match time and teams are probably doing final preparations. Senegal coach Aliou Cisse believes that they are in a good position to win but has refused to write off Algeria.

“Reaching the final is a great honour. I work with this team for 5 years. Algeria is a great team and they have our respect. The game will be very complicated and of course, we want to win. I believe that details can create a difference in the finals,” said Cisse.
