Host country is two titles shy of record winners Egypt, Cameroon have five Africa Cup of Nations titles to their name.

It is finally during additional time that Egypt took the lead in the quater-finals thanks to Mahmoud Hassan. The Egyptian player put a stop to Morocco's journey in the tournament and crushed their dream. The Atlas lions last won the African Cup of Nations in 1976.
Egypt will play Cameroon on Thursday at 7 PM GMT.
