Sofiane Boufal’s penalty gave Morocco an early lead but Mohamed Salah equalised in the second half then set up Trézéguet’s extra-time winner to put Egypt into the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals

This was a dismal game, two hours of spoiling with a dusting of football but, in the football that was played, Salah was decisive. He scored the equaliser and set up the winner, so Egypt will meet Cameroon in Thursday’s semi-final, a meeting of the two most successful sides in Cup of Nation’s history.
