The CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 final delivered way more than football, turning into an absolute spectacle that had Egyptians glued to every moment… and Even Two Days Later, Reactions Are Still Pouring In!
About the Match
The match was extremely tense. Both teams were strong defensively, and after a tense 0-0 at full time, extra time saw Senegal have a goal disallowed and Morocco awarded a controversial penalty, leading to heated arguments on the pitch. Frustrated, Senegal briefly walked off while fans jumped barriers, threw objects, and dismantled parts of the electronic boards, forcing stewards and riot police to intervene. Once play resumed, Senegal scored in extra time to claim a 1-0 victory.
