✅ **What You’ll Learn**:
With the score at 0-0 in the eighth minute of stoppage time in Rabat, referee Jean-Jacques Ndala awarded a penalty kick to Morocco due to El Hadj Malik Diouf’s intervention on Brahim Diaz.
Moments before that, Ndala canceled a goal for Senegal.
After the penalty kick was awarded, Senegal coach Pape Thiaw encouraged his team to leave the field in protest, leaving only Sadio Mane left.
The match was stopped for 17 minutes, during which Mane encouraged his teammates to return.
When they did, Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy easily saved Diaz’s Panenka-style penalty kick – and the match went to extra time, when Pape Gueye scored Senegal’s winner.
The match witnessed clashes between the Moroccan football boys and Senegalese reserve goalkeeper Yahvane Diouf, as he repeatedly tried to prevent them from stealing Mendy’s towel from near the goal.
Videos showed Diouf being thrown to the ground by three ball boys and then dragged along the ground as he tried to hold on to the towel so Mendy could dry his gloves.
