RABAT, Morocco (AP) --- The Africa Cup of Nations final has gone to extra time
after finishing 0-0 in a chaotic end which saw Senegal players walk off the
field when host Morocco was awarded a stoppage-time penalty.
Senegal coach Pape Thiaw led his team off the field on Sunday while Moroccan
fans celebrated and whistled.
The Senegal players eventually returned and after 14 minutes' delay in play,
douard Mendy saved Brahim Daz's penalty, and more Senegal fans tried storming
the field. Tempers also flared in the press box with journalists fighting among
themselves.
