Catch up with the highlights from this past Sunday’s Afcon action as Mohamed Salah starred when Egypt reached the semi-finals following a 2-1 win over Morocco and were joined in the last four by Senegal, who defeated Equatorial Guinea 3-1 in Yaounde.
WATCH: Egypt 2-1 Morocco
Mohamed Salah inspired Egypt to a place in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals as the record seven-time champions came from behind to defeat Morocco 2-1 in extra time in Yaounde.
Sofiane Boufal’s early penalty put Morocco in front in the last-eight tie, but skipper Salah equalised for Egypt early in the second half and then made the winner for Mahmoud Trezeguet 10 minutes into extra time.
Egypt will host Cameroon in the semi-finals at the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde on Thursday.
WATCH: Senegal 2-0 Equatorial Guinea
Substitutes Cheikhou Kouyate and Ismaila Sarr made decisive contributions as Senegal beat Equatorial Guinea 3-1 to reach the semi-finals of the Afcon.
Crystal Palace midfielder Kouyate had only been on the pitch for two minutes when he capitalised on some woeful defending to restore Senegal’s lead after Jannick Buyla had cancelled out Famara Diedhiou’s opener.
And Sarr then finished off a superb move 11 minutes from time as he made his first appearance for club or country since scoring in Watford’s 4-1 win over Manchester United on 20 November.
