The line-up for the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations was finalized on Tuesday, with Algeria and defending champions Ivory Coast booking the final places.
Algeria needed a brilliant strike from Adil Boulbina at the end of extra time to beat Congo 1-0, and Amad Diallo and Yan Diomande both scored and set up each other’s goals as Ivory Coast progressed with a 3-0 win over Burkina Faso. Bazoumana Touré sealed the Elephants’ victory.
The defending champions will face Egypt in the last quarter-final in Agadir on Saturday, after Algeria plays Nigeria in Marrakech.
Mali will face 2021 winners Senegal in the first quarter-final in Tangier on Friday, before hosts Morocco host five-time winners Cameroon in Rabat’s nearly 70,000-capacity Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, where the winner will also play the semi-final and final on January 18 if it happens.
The winner of Morocco’s quarter-final against Cameroon will face the winner of Algeria versus Nigeria on January 14.
The other semi-final – between the winners of Mali vs. Senegal and Egypt vs. Ivory Coast – to be played earlier in Tangier the same day.
