However, Morocco's bid to have the result of the match overturned after Senegal players left the pitch leading to a 14-minute delay in the game was dismissed by CAF's Disciplinary Committee. Morocco captain Achraf Hakimi (two CAF matches, one suspended for a year) and Ismael Saibari (three CAF matches) were suspended for unsporting conduct as they tried to remove the pitch-side towel of Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy in the driving rain in Rabat. Senegal went on to win the game thanks to Pape Gueye’s extra-time goal. The chaotic scenes at the final were an end to what was otherwise a successful Afcon that produced record revenues for CAF.
