Final momentum: Morocco leans on the faithful crowd
Morocco relies on its fans in the final.
Morocco's fans started pressuring the Senegalese players early, ahead of the Atlas Lions' final against them on Sunday evening in AFCON.
As soon as the Senegal players stepped onto the turf during warmups, Moroccan supporters unleashed loud whistles to apply early pressure.
The Moroccan team is banking on crowd support to win a second AFCON title, a historic milestone in their AFCON history.
Morocco reached the final after beating Nigeria on penalties, while Senegal advanced by overcoming Egypt in the other semi.
Expect a lively night, and if luck is on their side, maybe extra-time drama.
Punchline: If Morocco lift the trophy, the celebration will need its own passport—straight to your living room and beyond. Punchline 2: And if the match drags on, even the clock will beg for a coffee break.
