Senegal temporarily refused to finish the Africa Cup of Nations final after hosts Morocco were awarded a controversial stoppage time-penalty with the game level at 0-0.
Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw tried to usher his team off the field in the 98th-minute when the hosts were awarded a spot-kick when defender El Hadji Malick Diouf brought down Brahim Diaz, who went on to miss the penalty, in the box.
Thiaw, 44, was irritate with referee Jean Jacques Ndala – who awarded the penalty after reviewing the incident on the VAR monitor – for ruling out a goal for his side moments earlier.
Crystal Palace forward Ismaila Sarr had bundled home from close-range, but his effort was chalked off after a foul from Everton’s Idrissa Gueye on Achraf Hakimi.
Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy went to the dressing room, but returned to the field with captain Sadio Mane trying to encourage his players to finish the game.
Upon his return to the field, Mendy saved Diaz’s attempted panenka penalty.
Ndala blew the full-time whistle shortly after and Senegal opened the scoring through Pape Gueye four minutes into extra time.
