But Senegal regained the lead when Chelsea's Kalidou Koulibaly produced a brilliant side-footed finish in the 70th minute.
However, Koulibaly's strike wasn't the moment of the match as a supporter in the stands attracted plenty of attention on social media.
In the 82nd, the camera panned to the crowd and showed a Morocco fan amongst the Senegal supporters.
He joined in with the Senegalese' choreographed dance in a wholesome moment.
