Senegal complete African double by winning CHAN shootout

Final flourish: Senegal defender Mamadou Sane celebrates with the national flag after Saturday's final.ALGIERS - Senegal completed a double when they beat hosts Algeria 5-4 on penalties after a 0-0 draw to win the African Nations Championship final on Saturday.

Ousmane Diouf calmly converted to edge Senegal ahead amid whistling from many in a sell-out 39,120 crowd at the Stade Nelson Mandela in Algiers. It was a joyous occasion for all of west Africa as teams from the region reached five of the other six Nations Championship finals and lost them all. The attempt that came closest to breaking the deadlock was in the 107th minute when a volley from Houssem Mrezigue was brilliantly pushed over by Sy.
