In a dramatic conclusion to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Senegal secured their second continental title with a gritty 1–0 extra-time victory over Morocco on 18 January, 2026.
Following a scoreless regulation period marked by intense controversy including a temporary walk-off by Senegalese players in protest of a late penalty, goalkeeper Édouard Mendy became the hero saving a stoppage-time Panenka attempt from Brahim Díaz to force the match into extra time. The deadlock was broken in the 94th minute with Pape Gueye's powerful left-footed strike, silencing Rabat's home crowd of over 66,000.
Despite a relentless late push from Morocco's Atlas Lions, the Senegalese Teranga Lions stood firm to reclaim their status as the kings of African football.
