And the water bottle appeared, bearing the names of the Senegal players, and their preferred angles for kicks, in a scientific way, which showed the percentage of the shots in each corner of the goal.
When the journalist photographed the bottle closely, it became clear that it contained the names of most of the Senegal players, including top scorer Sadio Mane.
The bottle showed Mane’s preference to shoot to the right of the goalkeeper, which he did, which is the angle towards which Abu Jabal went, but he failed to block the decisive kick for its strength and accuracy.
Abu Jabal succeeded, using his high skill and “bottle”, by blocking 5 penalty kicks in the tournament, one against Côte d’Ivoire, two against Cameroon, and two against Senegal, one during the original time and the other during the penalty shootout.
The Senegalese team crowned its first African title at the expense of Egypt on penalties, after the Egyptian players missed two kicks, while Bono Sarr only missed Senegal.
