Senegal and Morocco fined and players banned after African Cup final walk-off and chaos‎

Senegal coach Pape Thiaw has been banned for five games and fined $100,000 and Senegalese and Moroccan players also received suspensions following a walk-off during a chaotic African Cup of Nations final. The sanctions announced Wednesday by the Confederation of African Football included fines totaling $615,000 for the Senegalese soccer federation and $315,000 for the Morocco federation for unsporting and improper conduct by their players, coaching staff and supporters, among other offenses. The Jan. 23 African soccer showpiece was marred by Senegal players walking off led by Thiaw in protest against a late penalty awarded to host Morocco.
