Senegal vs Morocco live: Afcon final latest score and updates – UK Times

13 mins: Frantic tempo so far as Morocco come forward again, this time through Saibari who drives towards the box before lashing wide.

8 mins: CHANCE! Up the other end, Ezzalzouli dances into the box and flashes a threatening low ball across the face of goal, but there’s nobody in white to knock it home.

The Real Betis winger has had a fine tournament.

6 mins: SAVE! The delivery is deep and falls to Pape Gueye at the back post, but after misjudging the flight of the ball, Bono recovers brilliantly to get across and block the header on the line.

If Gueye heads that into the near post rather than back across, that’s 1-0 to Senegal.

5 mins: Mane drives at Hakimi and wins a corner. An early opportunity from the set play from Senegal.

4 mins: Mane goes down and stays down under a questionable challenge, but no foul is given by the referee.

Fortunately for Senegal, their talisman swiftly gets back to his feet.

2 mins: Deafening whistles from the Moroccan fans whenever Senegal have the ball.

It might just be rattling the Senegal back five as they tick it around during the early stages, with Mendy struggling to get ahold of a pass.

A hostile atmosphere, to say the least.

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations is… UNDERWAY!

A month of African football theatre culminates here and now.

The teams are onto the pitch… time for the anthems!

Safe to say we’re going to get a difference in reaction to the two.

We are just a few moments away from the stars of Senegal and Morocco from taking to the pitch for the 2025 Afcon final!

The Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium is giving us a pretty stunning lights show to get the fans in the mood, not that they’ll need any encouragement.

The tension, the atmosphere – we’re on tenterhooks. Stay tuned!
