AFCON final: Morocco stands firm against Senegal, Bono leads by example | OneFootball

After a frenetic and wide-open first half, Senegal and Morocco delivered a rare level of football for a continental final. Far from the typical cagey finals, the match remained wide open, high-paced, and fiercely contested, though the scoreboard stayed unchanged.

The standout player of these opening forty-five minutes was Morocco's Bono. The goalkeeper pulled off a string of decisive saves, including a crucial one-on-one against Ndiaye, keeping his side afloat during Senegal's dominant spells.

Everything is still to play for after the break. If this tempo continues, the second half might finally deliver the long-awaited goals.
