Soccer-Own goal hands Senegal place in Africa Cup of Nations final

A bizarre own goal in extra time handed Senegal a 1-0 victory over Tunisia in the drama-filled first of Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals, with a place against either Algeria or Nigeria in Friday's final. A horrific mistake by goalkeeper Moez Hassen in the 100th minute saw the ball bounce off the head of defender Dylan Bronn and into the net for the only goal of a game in which both teams had second-half penalties saved.

Hassen came flying off his goal-line to try to cut off a freekick from the right flank but completely missed the ball which then hit the unfortunate Bronn on the head. Senegal, who were runners-up 17 years ago, are seeking their first Cup of Nations title. The second semi-final kicks off at 1900 GMT.
