Morocco to pursue legal action over chaotic end to Africa Cup of Nations final

Morocco's football federation has announced plans to pursue legal action following the controversial conclusion of the Africa Cup of Nations final, where they believe Senegal's players' walk-off during the match significantly influenced the outcome. Senegal clinched their second AFCON title with a 1-0 victory, highlighted by Pape Gueye's late goal, but the match was marred by a 15-minute delay caused by the incident. Moroccan player Brahim Díaz expressed his distress over the situation, stating that his "soul hurts" after the dramatic events surrounding the penalty awarded to Morocco just before the end of regular time.
