And that is the last major action of the first 45 as the referee blows the whistle for half time.

He cuts to his left and squares it to Saibari, whose first-time shot is blocked by the Senegalese defence. Looks like both teams are not taking any risks at the moment and are looking to go into the break on level terms. Four minutes of added time to be played in the first half.

Morocco and Senegal meet in a heavyweight Africa Cup of Nations final showdown on Sunday, with the host country hoping a partisan crowd can help them claim a first continental title in half a century. Walid Regragui’s Morocco was the favourite coming into the competition, having become the first African side ever to reach the World Cup semifinals in 2022 and established itself as the continent’s leading team in the FIFA rankings. It is unbeaten in two years, since going out of the last AFCON in Ivory Coast in the last 16 to South Africa, and is captained by the current African footballer of the year, Achraf Hakimi. The host could not have asked for a tougher opponent than Senegal, which is Africa’s second-best side in the rankings and is into its third final in four editions of AFCON. After losing to Algeria in Cairo in 2019, the Lions of Teranga won the title for the first time in Yaounde in 2022 when they beat Egypt on penalties. Knocked out by Ivory Coast in the last 16 in 2024, they bounced back to qualify for the World Cup and reached the final here with a Sadio Mane strike that beat Egypt in the last four. It is a vastly experienced Senegal side, and an ageing one -- Mane, goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, skipper Kalidou Koulibaly, and midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye are all aged between 33 and 36. Former Liverpool star Mane said after the Egypt game that the final would be his last Cup of Nations match. Centre-back Koulibaly will miss the game through suspension, a big blow for Senegal in a final between two outstanding defences. They have let in three goals between them at the tournament. - AFP ​ Senegal vs Morocco LIVE streaming info, AFCON 2025: Preview; When, where to watch Africa Cup of Nations final Here is everything you need to know about the live streaming and telecast details of the AFCON 2025 final between Senegal and Morocco. ​ The AFCON 2025 final between Senegal and Morocco will be live-streamed on the Fancode app and website in India.
