Senegal have defeated Morocco 1-0 in a dramatic 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final on Sunday night.
It was a tight affair between the top-two ranked countries on the continent in Rabat.
And there were no goals in the first half.
The second half was tilting towards a 0-0, until the ref disallowed Ismaila Sarr’s header for a foul on Achraf Hakimi.
In the 97th minute, the Atlas Lions were awarded a controversial penalty. After a lot of tension, which saw the Senegalese players walk off the pitch, Brahim Diaz saw his weak panenka saved by Eduoard Mendy.
Pape Gueye then stunned Morocco in the first half of extra with a sublime left-footed finish, to ensure the West Africans emerged champions.
