Senegal were fined a total of $615 000 for improper and unsporting conduct of their players, technical staff and supporters who brought the game into disrepute.
It’s by far the biggest fine imposed by CAF.
The Senegal coach, Papi Thiaw, who led his players off the field in protest of a penalty awarded to Morocco late in the match, was fined a further $100 000.
He was also suspended for five official CAF matches.
Two players received fines of $100 000 each as well as two-match suspensions.
The Moroccan Football Federation must also pay fines totalling $315 000 for inappropriate behaviour of the stadium’s ball boys during the match, for invading the VAR review area and obstructing the referee’s work and the use of lasers by its supporters during the match.
One player was also fined $100 000 and received a three-match suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct.
