In a night of unbearable tension at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah, Morocco secured their place in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final after defeating Nigeria 4–2 in a dramatic penalty shootout.
After 120 minutes of high-octane football ended in a 0–0 stalemate, the Atlas Lions held their nerve from the spot to keep their dream of a home-soil continental title alive.
Morocco’s victory sets up a “clash of the titans” final against Senegal this Sunday in Rabat. Senegal progressed earlier in the day after a 1–0 win over Egypt.
• The Final: Morocco vs. Senegal | Sunday, 8:00 PM (GMT)
