Softfootball understands that Senegal's dramatic 1-0 victory over Morocco in the African Cup of Nations final has left a deep mark on the tournament, and much of the post-match conversation has centred on one defining moment.
With the score level late in normal time, Morocco were handed a golden chance to win the final after being awarded a penalty in the 90th minute. Brahim Diaz stepped up and attempted a Panenka, but Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy read it perfectly and made the save.
The match went to extra time, where Idrissa Gueye struck the decisive goal to hand Senegal the title. That missed penalty quickly became the focal point of the final. Diaz has since faced intense backlash, with criticism pouring in from all corners.
