Morocco Vs Senegal LIVE Score, AFCON 2025 Final: Lions Of Teranga Hold As Atlas Lions’ Early Threats Go Begging

Drama in Rabat! Senegal think they’ve snatched a late winner, but the celebrations are cut short, the referee blows the whistle and rules it out for a foul. The Atlas Lions breathe a huge sigh of relief.

With the final minutes ticking away, extra time is on the horizon in this tense showdown. Both sides are pushing hard, desperate to settle it before the dreaded penalty shootout decides the winner.

Morocco win a corner and try to make something happen! Diaz plays it short to Hakimi on the right, who whips in a dangerous cross to the back post. Diouf gets up to clear but accidentally clashes with El Aynaoui, sending the Moroccan down and bleeding heavily. Play is halted as the medics rush in to check him. Tense scenes on the pitch in Rabat!

Senegal with a chance from the corner! Camara swings it in from the left, but El Kaabi rises high to clear it, launching Morocco on a quick counter. The game is still finely balanced in Rabat.

Half-time in Rabat and it’s all square! Both teams have fired off three shots, but it’s been Senegal testing Bounou the most, with the Moroccan keeper pulling off a couple of top-class saves to keep the Atlas Lions in the match. Morocco haven’t really found their attacking rhythm yet, but they’ve held their ground against a lively Lions of Teranga.

Fingers crossed the second half delivers some real goal-mouth action.

Tense battle in Rabat! This final has been neck-and-neck, with Senegal carving out a few chances but Morocco standing firm. Ndiaye hits the deck after tangling with El Aynaoui, but a quick medical check gets him back on his feet.

Morocco nearly stirs things up! Saibari pounces on a sloppy Senegal pass near midfield and links up with El Kaabi racing through the middle. Instead of spotting Diaz on the right, El Kaabi slides it back to Saibari, who fires a shot from inside the box, only to miss the target. Offside flag saves the Lions of Teranga from any danger.

Morocco showing early spark. Ezzalzouli cuts in from the left, dances past a couple of challenges, and whips in a dangerous cross across the box, but it just misses its target. Senegal’s defence rushes in to clear the danger, sending it downfield. Both teams looking fiery and eager in these opening exchanges.
