Morocco had the opportunity to win the tournament when awarded a penalty, but Brahim Díaz failed to convert in the 24th minute of added time after a long wait following protests from the Senegalese players at the decision, which saw them leave the pitch. Jackson's club teammates claimed a 5-1 win in Leipzig on Saturday:"
