AFCON final: the January result and the ruling that changed it
Senegal won 1-0 after extra time on the field; a 17 March CAF Appeals Board ruling later recorded a 3-0 forfeit in Morocco's favour.
On 18 January, Senegal defeated host Morocco 1-0 after extra time in Rabat, with Pape Gueye scoring in the 93rd minute. That was the result reported by CAF on the night and is the event that belongs in a chronological January archive.
The official status later changed. On 17 March, the CAF Appeals Board applied Article 84, declared Senegal to have forfeited the final and recorded a 3-0 result for Morocco. Because a sports archive must distinguish the on-field result from the current governing-body record, both are shown here with dates.
