DAKAR, Senegal — Senegal erupted in joy Sunday night after the West African country's soccer team defeated Morocco 1-0 to win the Africa Cup of Nations. Across the capital Dakar, fireworks lit up the sky, horns blared and people of all ages chanted and danced in the streets, dressed in national colors and holding Senegalese flags.

The triumphant Senegal team arrived in Dakar just after midnight following the tense Africa Cup of Nations final that saw the players briefly walk off the pitch to protest a penalty decision deep into second-half stoppage time.
