Morocco reflect on 'heartbreaking' final extra time defeat to Senegal at their home Africa Cup of Nations tournament: 'Soccer is often cruel'

The Atlas Lions, favourites as the hosts and coming off the back of a semi-final appearance at the last World Cup, had the chance to clinch their first continental title since 1976 with a stoppage-time penalty. However, golden boot-winner Brahim Diaz fluffed his lines before the match went to extra-time, where a stunning Pape Gueye clinched a second title in three editions for Senegal in Rabat.
