Unseen Glory: Senegal Nets Historic AFCON Final Goal Against Morocco — Senegal's historic AFCON final goal vs Morocco

Historic AFCON Final Spark

Senegal sealed a historic moment with a goal in the AFCON 2025 final against Morocco.

In extra time, Babi Jay powered a shot past Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bono to give Senegal the lead.

This goal marked the Teranga Lions’ first final goal in the tournament’s history.

That shot was so precise, even a compass got jealous.

If accuracy paid salaries, Senegal would have just signed a six-year deal with the net.
