Brahim Diaz looked set to be Morocco's hero before his ill-fated decision to try a 'Panenka' penalty
It was a moment that will haunt Brahim Diaz for years to come.
The winger had a chance to write his name into Moroccan folklore after winning a penalty in the eighth minute of second-half added time with Africa Cup of Nations final against Senegal goalless.
It was a golden opportunity to end his country's 50-year wait to lift the Afcon trophy.
But Diaz, whose five goals had propelled the hosts to the final, tried a 'Panenka' chipped penalty. It backfired. Horrendously so. Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy stood his ground and caught the ball in embarrassingly simple fashion.
