Senegal has triumphed in the Africa Cup of Nations, defeating the host nation Morocco with a last-minute goal from Pape Gueye. The match concluded with a score of 1-0, marked by Gueye’s impressive shot that outplayed Yassine Bounou in goal.
The standout player, Sadio Mane, played a pivotal role in leading his team, especially during a chaotic moment when Morocco was awarded a penalty just before stoppage time. Following this, several Senegalese players expressed their frustration by leaving the field.
Highlights of the Match:
- Winning Goal: Gueye scored in the 90+3rd minute, sealing the victory for Senegal.
- Penalty Incident: The match was briefly halted when Morocco was awarded a penalty due to a tackle by Malick Diouf.
In this tightly contested final, Senegal’s defense shone through, not conceding a goal in their last five matches, showing resilience even without their captain, Kalidou Koulibaly.
Morocco, finalists for the first time since 2004, failed to capitalize on home advantage and will now face a drought of 50 years without an AFCON title.
