Senegal beat Morocco 2-1 to clinch their first ever U17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title in a dramatic finale at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers on Friday.
Skipper Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal had given Morocco a 14th minute lead, one they kept until the 79th minute when Serigne Falou Diouf scored a VAR awarded penalty.
Mamadou Sawane towered the entire defense to head home four minutes later, completing the hard-earned turnaround for the Teranga Cubs.
