Morocco claims AFCON case closed, despite Senegal appeals to CAF and CAS | Football News
Morocco believes their appeal against Senegal's victory in the Africa Cup of Nations final has closed the case, despite Senegal launching a legal battle. The Confederation of African Football awarded Morocco a 3-0 victory after several Senegal players left the pitch protesting a penalty call. The Atlas Lions drew with Ecuador on Friday in their first match since the controversy and are focused on the upcoming World Cup. While Senegal remains outraged, Morocco supporters believe they deserved the win and will look to bring home the trophy eventually.
