    THE GAME WAS PLAYED IN THE DEMBA DISP STADIUM BEFORE A LARGE CROWD. IT WAS PLAY-OFF AND A FINE COME-BACK FOR SENEGAL, FOR GUINEA HAD WON THE FIRST GAME. SENEGAL THEN LOOK THE SECOND AND, FINALLY, SUNDAY'S MATCH.

    SENEGAL OPENED THE SCORE IN THE TENTH MINUTE IN SUNDAY'S GAME. GUINEA EQUALISED SOON AFTER THE START OF THE SECOND HALF, BUT THEN SENEGAL CAME BACK WITH THE CLINCHING GOAL A FEW MINUTES LATER. THE MARGIN WOULD HAVE BEEN GREATER, BUT SENEGAL MISSED A PENALTY KICK.

    THE FINAL FOR THE CUP - THE SIXTH IN THE SERIES - IS TO BE HELD IN ADDIS ABABA.
