The final of the Africa Cup of Nations ended in scandal. Deep into stoppage time of the final between Senegal and Morocco, there was a controversial scene in Senegal’s penalty area.Â
Referee Jean-Jacques Ndala Ngambo was asked to review an incident between Morocco’s Brahim Diaz and El Hadji Malick Diouf. Under intense pressure in the review area, he watched the duel for several minutes and ultimately decided to award a penalty.Â
As a result, the Senegalese players left the pitch in protest. National coach Pape Thiaw took his team off the field, thus provoking a match abandonment.
