Senegal initially walked off the pitch after Morocco were awarded a last-minute penalty but returned after the intervention of Sadio Mane.
As noted by CAF Online, Brahim Diaz missed the penalty, and Senegal capitalised moments later to claim their second AFCON trophy while Morocco continued their 50-year wait.
Nwabali aims dig at Morocco
Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali did not hide his happiness at Morocco’s loss to Senegal in the AFCON 2025 final and shared a post on his X page.
Nwabali shared a video of a hysterical laugh with a telling caption:
“Make una use all my towel una carry wipe una tears 🤷🏻”
The goalkeeper referred to the scenes when Moroccan fans stole his towels and provoked him to an explicit reaction during the semi-final clash.

As noted by BSN Sports, Nwabali could face sanctions from CAF over his conduct during Nigeria’s semi-final loss to Morocco.
The goalkeeper had multiple altercations with the fans during which he raised an explicit finger towards them, a gesture that could land him in trouble with CAF.
The Moroccan fans also threw objects at the Super Eagles goalkeeper, one of which he ate, sarcastically thanking them in an intense sideline distraction.
