00:00This news just broke and it's one of the biggest decisions in soccer or any sport really for a very
00:05very long time. Here's why. The news is that Senegal have been stripped of their AFCON win
00:10from January. They beat Morocco in the final but the game will always be remembered for a protest
00:14from Senegal. When Morocco were given a late penalty in the final the Senegal players refused
00:19to play for about 15 minutes and it clearly affected Morocco. Once Senegal did return to
00:25the field, Brahim Diaz missed the penalty, Morocco looked broken and Senegal won in extra time.
00:30But here is why this story is so important. The organisers of African soccer have essentially
00:34ruled that Senegal forfeited the game as soon as they stepped off the field of play.
00:39It sets a really important precedent the teams can't just walk off the field if they disagree
00:43with a decision. There could still be another appeal from Senegal at the court of arbitration for sport
00:48but for now Morocco are the AFCON champions. What do you think? Is this the right outcome?
