Senegal wins Africa Cup of Nations after chaos threatened to derail final

RABAT, Morocco (AP) --- Senegal has won the Africa Cup of Nations for the
second time.
Pape Gueye scored in extra time for the Teranga Lions to beat host Morocco 1-0
in a chaotic final on Sunday which at one point saw Senegal's players leave the
field to protest a penalty decision.
After a 14-minute delay, douard Mendy saved Brahim Daz's Panenka penalty in
the last kick of normal time. Gueye then scored the winning goal in the first
half of extra time.
