CAS to rule soon on Africa Cup final between Morocco and Senegal
Summarised by MatchPal
CAS will rule within days on Morocco's appeal of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations final, where Senegal won 1-0 after Morocco was awarded a penalty in regular time.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) heard arguments Thursday in Lausanne over Morocco's challenge to the Africa Cup of Nations final played on 18 January in Rabat. Morocco was awarded a penalty late in regular time but Brahim Díaz missed the kick, leaving the score 0-0. Senegal scored in extra time to win 1-0. Morocco protested; the CAF initially rejected the appeal but reversed course on 17 March, ruling Senegal had abandoned the match and lost 3-0. Senegal then took the case to CAS. CAS director Matthieu Reeb said a ruling would come within days.
