Senegal coach Pape Thiaw had taken his players off the field following the decision to award Morocco a penalty in the 98th minute. He had already been angered by referee Jean-Jacques Ndala ruling out an Ismaila Sarr header moments earlier.
Chaos ensued at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat with no one knowing how the match was going to end as Senegal temporarily refused to finish the game.
