Agreed. However, that penalty should never have been awarded, but there was no need for Senegal to walk off the pitch; I mean how old are they?

At the same time, I also lost all sympathy for Morocco after Diaz's shameful and disrespectful Panenka. He just wanted to rub Senegal's noses in it; instead, he's now a pariah and is going to live with the fact that he cost his country their first AFCON title since the 70s - AND on home soil! - for the rest of his life. And he deserves it.
