Senegal has been stripped of the African Cup of Nations after misconduct in the tournament final, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has ruled.
The CAF Appeal Board said that Senegal is "declared to have forfeited" the final in January, which will be recorded as a 3-0 win for Morocco, the tournament hosts.
During the match at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, Senegalese fans tried to storm the pitch and Senegal players walked off in protest after Morocco were awarded a penalty in the 98th minute.
After a lengthy delay, the players and coach returned to the pitch where the penalty was saved by Senegal's goalkeeper, and Senegal went on to win the game 1-0 in extra time.

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation said after the match it would "pursue legal action", saying the walk-off "had a significant impact on the normal course of the match and on the players' performance".
FIFA boss Gianni Infantino hit out at the "unacceptable scenes on the field and in the stands" as he criticised the behaviour of some "supporters" as well as Senegal players and staff.
