The hosts Morocco topped Group A and have won all but one of their games up to this point. That came on matchday two in the group stage with a 1-1 draw against Mali, but they bounced back quickly to defeat Zambia 3-0. Walid Regragui’s side made hard work of Tanzania in the first knockout round, scraping through with a 1-0 win thanks to Brahim Diaz’s strike. The Real Madrid man was on target once more in the last-eight encounter with Cameroon, where the Atlas Lions emerged 2-0 victors.
