The judges should revisit the CAF 1976 ruling (the final match between Guinea and Morocco) in which the Moroccans walked away as the Senegalese have done.
The Moroccans left the field of play for more than fifteen minutes where the Guineans were leading one nill.
They came back to draw one - one and the trouphy was awarded to the Moroccans.
To be honest with the CAF and the Judges is that ,what is good for Moroccans today is also good for the Guineans yester years.
1976 CAF trouphy should be given to the Guineans as CAF wants 2025 trouphy for the Moroccans.

See ooo, and this same Nigerians were here lambasting Refree Nii Laryea, who officiated a match which went peacefully on penalties, that no security guided him off the pitch after the match.
Look at the way your woman presided over unpresidented embarrassment to the whole Africa in terms of football, bringing the whole continent into disrespect.

She doesn't need to have played football before, you moron! She is a qualified lawyer and a judge and she makes decision based on the facts and evidence provided and apply the relevant Law.

Let's not play to emotions- the fact of the case is that the stupid Senegal head Coach led his players to walk off the match with Morocco without thinking of the consequences! In order words they abandoned the match and forfeited the match. That the referee failed to make the right call on the pitch is irrelevant. A wrong could be righted anytime it is proven to be wrong. Senegal goes no where with CAS appeal!.

A committee’s work cannot overrule the very law it’s supposed to enforce. FIFA laws convening the game stipulates that the decision taken by referees and match officials during the course of the game are final and cannot be challenged. If the referee and match officials failed to apply the law and their report on the match accepted, no one can challenge that after 2 months! Morocco themselves benefited from this same FIFA law in 1976, when they walked off in the final against Guinea but came back to win the game. One of the cardinal pillars of law is precedence.

If sh is a good Judge then I expected her to apply the Estoppel by Conduct Rule- once both CAF and the Moroccans agreed to let the match proceed after the Senegalese walked out, it doesn’t lie in their mouth to complain after everything has been concluded. Why didn’t the referee truncate the match when they walked off? When has a goal disallowed wrongly either by the referee or VAR been later restored?

What a judgement? The match restarted when the referee whistled for the commence of the match. So where is the problem? Morocco kicked the penalty and they missed it. Senegal fought hard in the extra time and won the match genuinely. FIFA must come in the case immediately. This disgrace is too much for Africa. If the referee has whistled for the end of the match during the walkout, then Article 84 of the CAF constitution would be applicable. Since Senegal returned to the pitch for the restart of the match, Article 84 is not applicable.

The president should explain Articles 82, 83, and 84 carefully to football fans. I have read the Articles, and if my understanding is right then the president and members of the CAF should resign. The Articles 82 and 83 interpret that if a team abundant the field and refuses to continue the game without the referee's knowledge the team is declared a loser. The Articles didn't state how long a team can stay outside the pitch. Article 84 states that if a team refuses to appear on the field for the start of a game beyond 15 minutes, the referee will end the game and send a report to the match Commissioner. The refusing team will be declared losers.
In this case, Senegal continued the game, won, and presented the championship cup. If the CAF believes that Senegal violated the rules, why did they allow them to play? Why did CAF president and other dignitaries presented Senegal the AFCON Championship trophy?
CAF's action is a disgrace to Africa football.
The members should resign in shame.

Senegal had Mane still on the pitch the whole time gesturing to the other team members to return. Morocco at no point demanded that the referee end the game as ut was past 15 minutes. This is because the senegal team did not spend 15 minutes outside the field of play. They used about 2-4 minutes to protest and demand VAR review. The referee did not make the decision to end the game after the temporal walk-out. The game duly restarted and the penalty was taken. Morocco cannot be awarded this trophy at all.
