Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has declared Monday a public holiday after the national team won the Africa Cup of Nations by beating Morocco 1-0 in a dramatic final held on Sunday. The match was tense, featuring a disallowed goal, players walking off the pitch, and a decisive saved penalty. Fans gathered at the African Renaissance Monument in Dakar, where the excitement was palpable. Many expressed their disbelief as they witnessed the events unfold, particularly during the penalty kick that could have secured a Moroccan victory. A Senegal supporter stated, What just happened is divine... a scenario as if it were a Netflix series is crazy, rejoicing in the team's success. The celebrations extended beyond Senegal with fans in cities like Paris, Milan, and New York joining the festivities, displaying national pride and gratitude towards their players, especially Sadio Mané, as they embraced a moment of shared joy and unity.
