There's nothing Brahim Diaz can do... probably ever... to make up for what that penalty miss in the Africa Cup of Nations final with Morocco, but since his return to Real Madrid he's finding solid footing again.

Morocco have decided to appeal a ruling that resulted in fines of $415,000 and match bans because of a chaotic Africa Cup of Nations final, their federation said Tuesday.

South African sports, arts & culture minister Gayton McKenzie told ESPN that his country seeks to host the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2028, and emphasised that he wanted the tournament to be remembered as one of "fair play".
