The climactic battle against Morocco descended into madness when the visiting squad stormed off the pitch to dispute a refereeing call. That stunt caused a significant delay, but the gamble paid off. When action eventually resumed, Edouard Mendy read a soft chip shot from Brahim Diaz, denying the host nation a major advantage from the spot. Victory arrived during the opening phase of overtime when Pape Gueye fired home the deciding strike. That goal secured a second continental title for the Lions of Teranga. The tournament itself hosted two dozen competitors, such as the Uganda Cranes, across the North African nation. This thirty-fifth iteration began with the home team playing Comoros. It was a long road to the trophy ceremony, but the drama in the final overshadowed everything else. [/QUOTE]
