Senegal won the first U17 CAN in its history by beating Morocco 2-1 on Friday at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers. Neither team had ever won an African Cup of Nations in the U17 category.
The match had started perfectly for Morocco with the opening of the score of the header, and from the 14th minute of play, Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal. The Atlas Cubs probably thought they had done the hardest by going into the locker room with the advantage at halftime.
