Senegal winger Diatta labels African football body 'corrupt' after AFCON exit
Senegal's midfielder #15 Krepin Diatta (left) fights for the ball with Ivory Coast's forward #15 Max-Alain Gradel during their Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) 2024 round of 16 match at the Stade Charles Konan Banny in Yamoussoukro on January 29, 2024.
Ivory Coast won the last-16 tie 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, as Senegal continued a remarkable run which has seen no reigning champion win an AFCON knockout tie since Egypt claimed a third consecutive title in 2010.
Diatta was angry that Senegal were not awarded a penalty early in the second half when Ismaila Sarr went down in a tangle of legs in the Ivory Coast box with defender Odilon Kossounou.
