Key Highlights
- The stakes are too high to worry about entertainment. Tonight, in Rabat, either Morocco or Senegal will become champions of Africa for only the second time.
- That’s where the similarities end.
- Morocco are desperate to win for two reasons: they are the hosts, and it’s 50 years since they last won the competition.
- Tonight’s match is only their second final in that time, an unfathomably poor record for such a revered football nation. Senegal hope to make a different kind of history.
- This is their third Afcon final in the last four, and they lost on penalties to the eventual winners Ivory Coast in the other one.
