AFCON 2025: Morocco find confidence while Senegal struggle for semi-final spot
AFCON host nation Morocco outclassed Cameroon and provided new hope to fans as they sealed a convincing 2-0 win against the Indomitable Lions. Brahim Diaz and Ismael Saibari found the net either side of half time, but Cameroon were unable to cause any harm up front. Senegal meanwhile needed just a single goal, courtesy of Iliman Ndiaye, to beat a 10-man Mali side, whose Yves Bissouma was sent off after picking up a second yellow card. We also take a look at Saturday's other quarter-finals, where Algeria will take on Nigeria and seven-time champions Egypt will face defending champions Ivory Coast.
