Senegal lifted the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations trophy on Sunday night after a dramatic 1-0 extra-time victory over hosts Morocco in Rabat, a final defined as much by late controversy as by a moment of brilliance that ultimately decided the contest, CapetownEtc reports.
The decisive goal came in the 94th minute, when midfielder Pape Gueye struck from range to silence the home crowd and secure Senegal's second continental title in three tournaments.
The breakthrough followed an extraordinary end to regulation time, during which Senegal briefly left the pitch in protest before regrouping and completing one of the most tense finals in recent AFCON history.
