Unfortunate Miss: Watch Moroccan Players Crucial Mistake Costing Africa Cup of Nations Title

What was he thinking! Watch the clip of "Diaz" showing off at the wrong moment, ultimately causing "Morocco" to lose to "Senegal" and miss the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title.

The aftermath of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final last night saw the Senegal national team beat Morocco 1-0 after extra time (0-0 draw in regular time), winning the championship for the second time.

However, the match had a key moment worth discussing when the score was still 0-0 and Morocco earned a penalty in first-half injury time at 90+24 minutes. If Brahim Diaz had scored, Morocco would have won the championship immediately.

But the Real Madrid attacker tried a chipped shot that floated softly into the Senegal goalkeeper's hands in a shocking miss, leaving the score tied 0-0 after 90 minutes and forcing extra time.

Finally, Pap Gaye scored in the 94th minute to give Senegal a 1-0 victory over Morocco and secure the title.

This costly mistake will surely be a memorable lesson for Diaz for a long time to come...
