Penalty gets given to Morocco because there’s an intention to handle the ball by the Malian defender. Ideally he could have gotten away with it but ref’s hands are tired here #AFCON2025

CAF ExCo member Samir Sobha has apologized to Morocco 🇲🇦 for the “injustice done to the national team” during the AFCON final. “I want to plead with the Moroccan FA to forgive us for the injustice done to them … The rules have not been respected, as they should have been in this match … They were robbed. It’s clear that after the Senegalese team left the field, all the players should have been sanctioned with a yellow card. “I’m not saying we should not give the trophy to the Senegalese team. What has happened has happened already. We can’t change it … But we should put our ego aside and agree that an injustice has been done to the Moroccan national team. Having gone through the competition rules, I’m sure my position is right.” Source: Guardian sport
