Senegal is African champion, defeating Morocco in the final after 120 minutes

Senegal is the African champion after defeating the host country Morocco 1-0 after 120 minutes, amid many protests and controversies that ultimately resulted in a big celebration for them, for the second Cup won in history.

The Africa Cup of Nations final between Senegal and Morocco had a crazy ending. In the 98th minute, the referee decided to award a penalty to Morocco, a decision that was strongly contested by Senegal, who abandoned the match for several minutes, as the awarded penalty was considered a "phantom".

After negotiations, the Senegal players and staff were convinced to return to the field, while the Moroccan fans were ready to celebrate the goal that would bring the trophy, the Moroccan star, Brahim Diaz, who is part of Real Madrid, wasted the 11-meter in a strange way, as he attempted the "alla Panenka" version, the shot was easily stopped by goalkeeper Mendi, causing the final to go into extra time.
