In the clip, Shaffy Bello and Broda Shaggi appear to playfully dramatize their “disappointment” following Senegal’s triumph over Morocco. The moment was clearly staged for humor, with Broda Shaggi leaning fully into his trademark comic style while Shaffy Bello matched the energy with mock seriousness.
The reaction was influenced by where they were seated inside the stadium, as the section was largely dominated by Moroccan supporters. With many fans around them visibly disappointed after the final whistle, the duo chose to mirror the mood of their surroundings, turning the moment into a playful and relatable joke.
As with many viral AFCON moments, the reaction showed how football continues to unite sports, entertainment, and pop culture on the continent.
