Super Eagles forward Akor Adams shared a perfectly-timed post on social media after Senegal beat Morocco to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The Teranga Lions won the continental trophy after a hard-fought 120 minutes battle against the host, which included controversies, disruptions, and boycotts.

Pape Gueye’s strike in the fourth minute of the extra time, which Senegal held on, gave the Pape Thiaw-led side victory over the host nation Morocco.

As a result, Senegal won their second AFCON title, while the Atlas Lions’ 50-year wait to conquer Africa continues until the 2027 edition at least.

Akor Adams shares post after AFCON final

Super Eagles striker Akor Adams shared a cryptic post on his X page shortly after Senegal defeated Morocco to win the AFCON 2025 trophy.

He shared a video of his celebration against Algeria, which honoured DR Congo superfan Michel Kuka Mboladinga, who tributes Patrice Lumumba.

The Sevilla forward captioned the video 'Africa❤️', and the timing has made Nigerians suggest it was a direct jibe at losing finalist Morocco.

The Atlas Lions defeated Nigeria on penalties in the semi-final under controversial officiating by Ghanaian referee Daniel Nii Ayi Laryea.

Adams explains celebration for Mboladinga

Adams, speaking after Nigeria won the bronze medal, explained his reason for the celebration, with Algeria's Mohamed Amoura criticised for mocking Kuka Mboladinga.

“I think you do not kick somebody when he's down, not to name names, but I think he was passionate for his country, that's the fan I'm talking about now, and when Congo lost, all that happened was not acceptable, it's not acceptable in Africa,” he told Ademola Victor TV.
