Two months after winning the Africa Cup of Nations, Senegal was stripped of its title. Senegalese footballers stormed off the pitch for 15 minutes during a feisty final in Morocco after the referee awarded a dubious injury-time penalty to the hosts (it was eventually saved). The Confederation of African Football belatedly decided that Senegal forfeited the match, declaring Morocco 3-0 winners, and thus champions, by default.
