Senegal won the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations

Senegal beat Morocco to win the Africa Cup of Nations for a second time - but only after the final was overshadowed when they temporarily refused to play when the hosts were awarded a controversial stoppage time-penalty with the match goalless.

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.

The Real Madrid forward stepped up to take the penalty when the players returned to the field, but had his attempted Panenka penalty saved.

Thiaw, 44, was irritated 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.
