A Moroccan politician has made a scathing statement following the Africa Cup of Nations final between Senegal and Morocco.
Details: The politician called for the decisive match referee to be suspended and brought to trial for restarting play after Senegal's players temporarily left the pitch.
According to him, the referee's actions allegedly violated the tournament's final regulations and influenced the course of the match, which ended with a 1-0 victory for Senegal, earning them the African champion title.
In addition, the politician leveled a sensational accusation against the Senegalese squad, claiming the team allegedly practiced magic in the locker room before Brahim Diaz's penalty.
Reminder: Morocco and PSV midfielder Ismael Saibari visited the Senegal team hotel to personally apologize to Edouard Mendy.
