Moroccan midfielder Ismael Saibari visited the Senegalese national team hotel on Monday to meet with goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, following a bizarre on-field incident involving a towel during Sunday’s AFCON final.
According to video footage circulated by Senegalese media on the “X” platform, Saibari arrived at the hotel just one day after the controversial final, which saw Senegal defeat Morocco 1-0 in extra time. While the specific details of their conversation remain private, a ten-second clip shows the two players sharing a prolonged handshake, signaling a peaceful resolution to the tension.
The meeting addressed chaotic scenes that unfolded during the match regarding Mendy’s towel. Moroccan ball boys were observed attempting to steal the goalkeeper’s towel, often a target of superstition in African football.
