The January final saw a surprising outcome, with Senegal initially declared victorious by a score of 1-0. However, this assumption proved incorrect, a fact that became clear after several months. During the final match, the referee controversially awarded Senegal a penalty in extra time, sparking considerable anger.
Following this decision, the Senegalese team departed the field after just 17 minutes. Subsequently, a penalty was conceded by Brahima Diaz, and Pape Guey’s goal, seemingly the game-winning strike, ultimately lacked its intended impact. Following the African Cup final, Gianni Infantino expressed sympathy for the distressed Brahima Diaz.
More than two months after the game’s conclusion, Caf has responded to a complaint from the Moroccan Football Federation, ultimately ruling that Morocco achieved a 3-0 victory. The Senegalese Federation immediately refuted this decision, stating unequivocally that they rejected this unjustified attempt to reclaim the result. Now, the Senegalese have issued a further statement.
