Triumph for Bayern star! Jackson wins Africa Cup with Senegal | OneFootball

Great success for FC Bayern’s Nicolas Jackson: The striker wins the Africa Cup with Senegal

FC Bayern striker Nicolas Jackson has won the Africa Cup in Morocco with the Senegalese national team

In the final in Rabat against the hosts, Senegal won 1-0 after extra time, with Pape Gueye scoring the decisive goal in the 94th minute with a wonderful long-range shot into the corner

Jackson, who is on loan to the record champions from Chelsea FC, was in the starting eleven, but the 24-year-old was substituted before extra time in the final. Ex-Bayern star Sadio Mané also played in the Senegalese winning team

Chaotic final in the Africa Cup

The final phase of the final was pure chaos. In stoppage time, the ball first tapped into the Moroccan net, but the goal did not count due to an alleged offensive foul beforehand

In the 8th minute of stoppage time, Morocco were awarded a penalty after a VAR decision: Brahim Diaz was pulled back in the penalty area and fell

There was a great deal of commotion after the penalty decision, with some Senegalese players wanting to leave the pitch in protest

When the penalty was finally awarded after minutes of stoppage time, Brahim Diaz took the ball himself and the Real Madrid star opted for a panenka, lifting the ball into the arms of Edourd Mendy

Then came Gueye’s big moment – and with his dream goal he fired Senegal to victory.
