In a dramatic match, Morocco was awarded a late penalty in stoppage time due to a foul by El Hadji Malick Diouf on Brahim Diaz, after a Senegal goal was disallowed. Following the penalty decision, Senegal’s coach Pape Thiaw urged his players to leave the field in protest, although they eventually returned. Diaz’s penalty was saved by Senegal’s Edouard Mendy, and Senegal later won the match 1-0 with a goal from Pape Gueye in extra time. The game also featured a confrontation between Moroccan ball boys and Senegal’s reserve goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf over a towel.
