Senegal will face hosts Zambia in Sunday’s final of the Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Lusaka after beating Guinea 1-0 in Thursday’s semi-final.
The Senegalese took an early lead in Ndola as Aliou Badji struck after 12 minutes.
In first-half stoppage time, Ibrahima Niana had the chance to double Senegal’s lead but his penalty was saved by Moussa Camara.
Senegal will be playing in their second consecutive final, having lost in 2015 to Nigeria.
