Senegal entered the clash against Mali as clear favorites, and although they had to fight hard to secure their place in the semifinals, they now carry an impressive run that keeps their title hopes alive at the AFCON Morocco 2025, which you can watch live on beIN SPORTS.

Senegal and a Record Only Egypt Have Surpassed at AFCON

After defeating Mali, the Lions of Teranga are now waiting to learn their semifinal opponent, while also reaching a remarkable milestone that gives them an edge heading into the final stages of the tournament.

According to Opta, Senegal have now gone 16 consecutive AFCON matches without defeat, a streak surpassed only by Egypt, who recorded 24 unbeaten games between 2004 and 2017.

A Statistic That Puts Senegal on Course for the Final

Another Opta statistic highlights Senegal’s strong position: this is the fourth time they have won at least four matches in a single AFCON edition, a trend that has historically pointed toward deep tournament runs.

In previous editions, Senegal reached the final or lifted the trophy: 2002 (runners-up with four wins), 2019 (runners-up with five wins), and 2021, when they won four matches and were crowned AFCON champions.
