"Ismaila Sarr had a late goal ruled out before Morocco were awarded a disputed penalty, an incident that saw several Senegal players initially walk towards the tunnel before being called back onto the pitch by captain Sadio Mane. After a delay of almost 20 minutes, Brahim Diaz attempted a Panenka penalty that was saved by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. The moment was followed by further confusion, with reserve goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf helping to guard Mendy's towel amid interference from Moroccan ball boys."
"Addressing the squad, President Faye confirmed that each of the 28 players will receive 75 million CFA francs, equivalent to around $134,900, alongside a 1,500 square metre coastal plot of land. The total cash payout amounts to 2.1 billion CFA francs, or approximately $3.7 million. Members of Senegal's football federation will receive 50 million CFA francs, roughly $89,600, and 1,000 square metre plots, while other members of the Senegalese delegation are set to receive 20 million CFA francs and 500 square metre plots."
