Chaos broke out after Morocco were awarded a penalty and the Senegalese walked out of the pitch as they did not agree with the decision after their goal was ruled out for a foul on a Moroccoan defender just few minutes apart. It took the efforts of Mane for his teammates to return to the pitch and continue the match.
Former Chelsea goalkeeper, Eduard Mendy saved Ibrahim Diaz penalty as the match entered extra time. Pape Gueye scored a powerful shot from the edge of the box to give Senegal the victory.
