The Africa Cup of Nations final in Rabat on Sunday night was a fairly normal football match, for most of the first 89 minutes… and then it descended into utter madness as a penalty call (soft but right) had a domino effect across the stadium.
With celebrities and dignitaries in attendance, Morocco and Senegal played brilliant, defensively strong, attacking football. A showcase for the African game. And then a penalty call was made.
In the end, Senegal won 1-0 thanks to a Pape Gueye strike in extra time, leaving Morocco fans heartbroken in the stands.
