The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 final between Senegal and Morocco has reached a controversial conclusion. Although Senegal secured a 1-0 victory after extra time on January 18th, Morocco has now been officially declared the winner by forfeiture this Tuesday. The Lions of Teranga are facing the repercussions of their decision to abandon the match, a move prompted by their significant frustration with the referee’s decisions, particularly a contentious penalty awarded to the Atlas Lions late in the game.
