Fan issues, players walking off the pitch, a missed penalty and controversial refereeing decisions were all major talking points.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the Confederation of African Football handed out punishments for both sides, as well as individual players and managers.<\/p>\n
Senegal manager Pape Thiaw has received a five-match ban from CAF and fined $100,000 for his involvement, in what has been described as \u201cunsporting conduct\u201d.<\/p>\n
CAF have also fined the Senegalese footballing federation (FSF) $300,000 for the \u201cimproper conduct of supporters,\u201d with fans clashing with police towards the end of the match.<\/p>\n
The FSF also received a further $300,000 fine for the conduct of their players and staff, as well as a subsequent $15,000 fine for five players receiving yellow cards from the referee.<\/p>\n
Senegalese players Cheikh Baroy Ndiaye and Isma\u00efla Sarr were given two-game bans for their actions towards the match official.<\/p>\n
Morocco too, have been handed hefty penalties for their actions during the chaotic final.<\/p>\n
Captain of the Morocco team, Achraf Hakimi, received a two-game ban from CAF, where one of the games is suspended for a year, for his \u201cunsporting behaviour\u201d in the match.<\/p>\n
Ismael Saibari was also handed a ban for three official CAF matches and fined $100,000 for his behaviour.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Moroccan footballing federation was also fined $315,000, which included punishment for the behaviour of players and staff in the final.<\/p>\n
The fine given also includes the behaviour of ball boys, who were attempting to take away the hand towel of the Senegalese goalkeeper during the match.<\/p>\n
