Senegal Coach Banned for AFCON Final Chaos

Senegal Coach Banned for AFCON Final Chaos

The coach of Senegal's football team, Pape Thiaw, got into trouble after the big final game against Morocco.

He and some players were punished for not behaving well.

The coach was banned from five matches and had to pay a big fine.

Some players from both teams were also banned for a few matches.

The game was delayed because the Senegal players left the field after a disputed penalty decision.

But they came back, and Senegal won the game.

Both teams' football federations also had to pay fines for the bad behavior of their players and staff.
