Nigeria, May 29 -- The Senegal national under-17 football team on Thursday secured another major victory over hosts Morocco at the ongoing 2026 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations.

The hard-fought result saw Senegal advance after a tense penalty shootout in Rabat, handing the North Africans yet another painful heartbreak.

Thursday's result came just months after Senegal's controversial triumph over Morocco in the senior AFCON final - a result that was later overturned in favour of the North Africans. But this time, the Young Lions of Teranga again frustrated the Atlas Lions on home soil in the U-17 tournament.

Senegal won 7-6 on penalties after both sides played out a dramatic 1-1 draw at the Prince Moulay Hassan Stadium on Thursday night.
