The Africa Cup of Nations final takes place in Rabat on Sunday.

Host nation Morocco face the attacking power of an impressive Senegal side for the right to be crowned kings of Africa. Nigeria claimed the bronze medal by beating Egypt on penalties in Saturday's third-place playoff.

This is arguably the biggest AFCON game in Morocco's history, given their relative lack of trophies and the fact this final takes place in front of a vociferous home crowd. Senegal, however, have been quality performers over the past month and will provide a major test for Walid Regragui's team.

The Sporting News is following the game live and providing score updates, commentary and highlights below.

The big absentee for Senegal is captain and centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, who is suspended for this match due to yellow-card accumulation in the knockouts. He is also suffering from a muscle problem, so he would likely have been a major doubt for this game anyway.
