Former Liverpool forward, Sadio Mane was named Man of the Competition after helping Senegal win 2025 Africa Cup of Nations AFCON, Softfootball reports.
Senegal beat host Morocco 1-0 after extra time to win the competition but the match was without drama. Just before the end of 90 minutes, the Terenga Lions thought they've won the game but their goal was ruled out for a foul on Hakimi during the buildup.
Morocco has a penalty after Ibrahim Diaz was fouled but Senegalese players protested and encouraged to walk off the pitch by the Coach in a dramatic scene filled with chaos but common sense prevailed as Mane called out to his teammates to return. The game continued as Diaz missed his penalty courtesy a save by Mendy.
