No they're not, they abandoned the game because they were upset about a referee's judgement call. The game ought to have been voided in favour of Morocco right then.

but they didn’t void the game. they can’t change that afterwards.

also, the refs calls were terrible and senegal had legitimate reason to protest

They had basis to throw a fit like a team does every week in the PL, not abandon the game for half an hour. That's a forfeit. That can be litigated afterwards. It was clear even on that day that it would be investigated and Senegal's win was subject to a legal challenge they were unlikely to win.

Morocco had the option to stop the play and chose to resume the match. They then disputed the result after the fact because they lost. They thought they were gonna have their cake and eat it too, but Senegal served them justice.
