<h3>
Algeria’s tact of starting off quick and playing the ball in Senegal’s half worked perfectly until halfway through when the Teranga Lions started roaring slowly into the game.</h3>

<br />
In the 26th minute, Henry Saivet attempted to catch keeper Adi-Rais Mbohli off his guard with a freekick from range, but the hawk-eyed shot stopper adjusted quickly to gather.<br />
<br />
Mbaye Niang had a brilliant effort later with a superbly struck volley from range. The burly forward chested the ball down from 20 yards out and took a sweet volley on the half turn, his stinging effort going just over.<br />
<br />
At the stroke of halftime, Sane akmost made amends in exact same fashion he had conceded in the first minute, but this time is strike from range off a corner was deflected over the bar.<br />
<br />
The second half started in as much pace as the first had ended and Senegal thought they had been given a lifeline on the hour mark when Djamel Benlamri seemed to have handled the ball inside the box off a Sarr cross.<br />
<br />
However, after consulting the VAR, the referee overturned his earlier decision of a penalty and gave possession back to the Algerians.<br />
<br />
Senegal kept their push on and came close again in the 65th minute when Sarr beautifully picked up a long ball from Lamine Gassama before striding into the box, gliding past the keeper but his eventual shot came off the side netting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Youssef Sabaly was next to line up an effort when he picked the ball on the left from Sadio Mane before moving into good shooting range, but his rocket of a shot was smothered behind for a corner by Mbohli.<br />
<br />
On the other end, Algeria who were pushed on the wall by Senegal managed to conjure a chance at goal off a set piece, but Youcef Bellaili’s curling effort was deflected for another corner that was well defended.<br />
<br />
With the clock ticking and a goal urgently needed, Senegal boss Aliou Cisse made changes, Saivet coming off for Mbaye Diagne, Niang came off for Keita Balde while earlier, Krepin Diatta had come on for Papa Ndiaye.<br />
<br />
Djamel Belmadi responded by making a defensive change, Sofiane Feghouli paving way for Mehdi Jean.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Algeria managed to hold on to the score-line and secured the Cup of Nations crown with an unbeaten run.</h3>

AFCON 2019 Third-place: Tunisia vs Nigeria (0-1) Full Highlights & Goals, Odion Ighalo’s second minute goal hands Nigeria Super Eagles bronze [Watch Video]

The Shanghai Shenhua forward stretched his foot to nudge the ball home from a yard out after Tunisia keeper Moez Ben Cherifia and his defender Yassine Meriah both clashed as they threw themselves on the ground to try and cut out Collins Jamilu’s cross from the left.<br />
<br />
 But that was just about it as much as the Nigerian attack was concerned as the Tunisians took control of the game both in terms of possession and chances created.<br />
<br />
 In the eighth minute, defender Kenneth Omeruo had to make a brilliant intervention to cut out Taha Khenissi’s shot from the right after he had been sent through by a delightful ball from skipper Wahbi Khazri.
<br />
<h3>
Ferjani Sassi came inches close after 14 minutes, his low effort from the edge of the box after skillfully evading a tackle from Peter Etebo went just wide.</h3>
<h3>
Nigeria were playing too deep in their own half and had let the midfield partnership of Sassi and Joris Skhiri take charge of the tempo.</h3>
In the second half, Tunisia started from the same place they left in the first half and came close to a goal just two minutes in when Khazri sent substitute Firas Chaouat through, but the striker hit the side netting facing Francis Uzoho one on one.<br />
<br />
 On the other end, Chukwueze came close to doubling Nigeria’s advantage when he picked up the ball at the edge of the box but his curling effort was smothered behind for a corner by Ben Chirifia. 
<br />
<br />
With the game advancing and the demanding nature of the tournament taking a toll on the players, the pace of the game drastically dropped with chances few and far in between.<br />
<br />
 Substitute Samuel Kalu provided some late flashes of brilliance late in the game barely a minute after his introduction with two brilliant freekicks, both of which were saved by Ben Cherifia.<br />

<br />
<br />
Nigeria started the second half on attacking note trying to find the equalizer, but found a resolute Algerian defense that stopped all their attempts. Alex Iwobi tried from distance on the hour mark but missed the target widely.<br />
<br />
Algeria tried depending on the counter attack, but couldn’t make a difference. And after 70 minutes the game took a turnaround. Video Assistant Referee (VAR) intervened to give Nigeria a penalty for a handball on Aissa Mandi. Odion Ighalo made no mistake from the spot to tie the game at 1-1.<br />
<br />
Algeria players looked fatigued and tried to keep their opponents at bay, relying on Mahrez and Belaili’s speed in counter attacks.<br />
<br />
Ismail Bennacer could have given Algeria the lead two minutes into stoppage time but his shot kissed the crossbar.<br />
<br />
And it was Mahrez who won the match for Les Fennecs four minutes after the full time mark when his free kick was perfectly placed over the wall and into the net to lead Les Fennecs to the final for the second time in their history and the first since1990.<br />

Senegal should have been up by at least two goals by half time. The Lions of Teranga had literally the lion’s share of possession and chances in the opening 45 with one of the three tournament top scorers Sadio Mane having the best of the evening.<br />
<br />
In the 37th minute, the Liverpool forward glided past Tunisian keeper Hassen Mouez off a Mbaye Niang pass, but his eventual effort went wide. Just a minute before that, Niang had a good chance when off Mane’s touch from a Youssouf Sabaly cross, his shot on the half turn skied .<br />
<br />
Even before these two golden chances, Senegal had rattled the bar. In one of his many forays upfield from the left, Sabaly cut into some good shooting range but his rasping curling shot came thundering against the upright.<br />
<br />
Tunisia didn’t create much, save for some two half chances after being forced to play on the back foot for most of the first half. In the 21st minute, Dylan Bronn’s header off a Wahbi Khazri freekick was deflected over and from the resultant corner, Youssef Msakni headed over.<br />
<br />
Tunisia seemed to have picked a lesson or two from their first half performance as they came back stronger. Just two minutes after the restart they had a golden opportunity when the ball was planted behind Koulibaly in defense but Taha Khenissi lifted the ball over with only the keeper to beat.<br />
<br />
Three minutes later, Sassi had a shot from the edge of the area saved after Tunisia turned over possession. In the 65th minute they had another golden chance when Sassi’s backheel found sub Naim Slitti, but his effort at gliding past the keeper was awry as the shot stopper gathered on the ground.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The best opportunity came in the 72nd minute when Sassi’s shot was blocked by Koulibaly’s arms, the ref pointing to the spot. Sassi stepped over and took a tame shot that was easily saved by Amigo Gomes.</h3>
<br />
On the other end five minutes later, it was Senegal’s turn when substitute Ismaila Sarr was brought down but Saivet’s effort was saved by a full stretched Mouez.<br />
<br />
With no winner in regulation time, the match went to the full length and it was Senegal who would make the most of their luck after 100 minutes of football. Skipper Cheikou Kouyate’s freekick from the right bounced on Bronn’s header with keeper Mouez off his line.<br />
<br />
Senegal managed the remaining minutes and the second half of added time to keep their dream of a maiden title alive, even with some late nerves that were calmed by the VAR.<br />

<br />
Wilfried N’didi gave Bafana Bafana an idea of what to expect when he had the first shot after 6 minutes. And despite seeing South Africa with more possession, Nigeria had the lion share of chances.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Chukwueze broke the deadlock after 27 minutes after receiving the ball from Alex Iwobi inside the vital area. His initial shot was deflected from defense but he managed to collect the ball again and score past Ronwen Williams between South Africa’s posts.</h3>
<br />
South Africa tried to equalize but couldn’t pose real threats to Nigeria’s defense and goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi.<br />
<br />
After the break Nigeria were about to double their lead. Peter Etebo sent a scorcher from a free kick but Williams hand and the crossbar stopped him after 51 minutes.<br />
<br />
And after 73 minutes VAR interfered to give South Africa the equalizer. From a free kick Bongani Zungu sent a header that wronged Akpeyi. The goal was initially ruled offside but VAR proved the ball came from a Nigerian defender back to let the goal stand.<br />
<br />
Iwobi tried to restore Nigeria’s lead but his shot missed the target after 80 minutes.<br />
<br />
And when it seemed the game is going to extra time, Williams made a fatal mistake when he missed a corner kick to leave William Troost Ekong to score in the empty net wending the Super Eagles to the semifinal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Total Man of the Match: Samuel Chukwueze (Nigeria)</h3>
<br />
What they said<br />
Samuel Chukwueze (Total Man of the match)<br />
We worked so hard to be here. I'm very happy we are now in the semifinal. We were pushing hard to win this game and it was not easy.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Gernot Rohr (Coach, Nigeria)</h3>
<br />
It was a great match. South Africa is a very good team, they had a very good game against Egypt but it's too difficult to do this two times in a row. We were lucky to score in the last minute, but yet we were mentally strong to do this. I salute South Africa for having a great team. What was the best today is the great spirit between both teams. Our next game is going to be more difficult, but we will be ready.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Stuart Baxter (Coach, South Africa)</h3>
<br />
It's always sad when you lose a game in the last minute. In the first half we were not brave enough but in the second we were much better. We still couldn't find that last touch. Nigeria is very dangerous and have some very good players. We tried to win but we lost in the dying minutes.<br />
Congratulations to Nigeria coach and team and I'm sure they are going to do great job.<br />

<br />
The Teranga Lions controlled much of the game and should have gone to the break with at least a goal on the balance of chances they created in the first half. Mane had the earliest chance in the 19th minute when he chested down beautifully a well weighted ball from Kalidou Coulibaly, but he was sandwiched by the two Benin central defenders and couldn’t pull the trigger with goal in sight.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Benin had two good chances in the 23rd and 25th minutes through Cebio Soukou. His first effort was from range which went just wide.<br />
<br />
Two minutes later, he came close when he curled in a freekick from the right but it went agonizingly off target with a number of Benin legs thrown at it missing the crucial touch to guide the ball home.<br />
<br />
Senegal bossed the game and had another opportunity to score late in the half though it almost turned out to be a game of ping pong. Niang broke off on the left but his shot was saved by the keeper before follow up efforts from Gueye and Keita Balde were both blocked at the edge of the six yard box.<br />
<br />
At the start of the second half, Benin started with frenzy looking to bury the chances early. Sessi D’Almeida had a shot go wide from range before Mickael Pote missed a glorious chance.<br />
<br />
The ball flew straight into his boot unmarked from a Soukou cross from the right, but his aim at goal with no one on his shadow went straight to the keeper’s arms.<br />
<br />
As the game wore on, goal scorer Gueye was substituted to a standing ovation and in his place came defensive midfielder Salif Sane to see off the single goal lead.<br />

<h3>
Ferjani Sassi scored the winning penalty in sublime fashion as Tunisia’s Carthage Eagles flew over Ghana’s Black Stars to progress to the quarter finals of the Total Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Egypt 2019 with a 5-4 post-match penalties victory.</h3>
<br />
Tunisia will now face off with tournament surprise package Madagascar in Thursday’s quarter final in Al Salaam.<br />

Substitute keeper Farouk Ben Mustapha proved a gamble by head coach Alaine Giresse to bring him on for the penalties to be right as he saved one of Ghana’s kicks from Caleb Ekuban.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Tunisia all scored their penalties with Naim Sliti, Wahbi Khazri, Yassine Meriah and Dylan Bronn all scoring before Sassi sealed the tie. Ghana’s kicks were scored through Mubarak Wakaso, Jordan Ayew, Lumor Agbenyenu and Thomas Partey.<br />

<br />
Substitute Rami Bedoui’s own goal at the stroke of full time sent the game to extra time after he dipped a header beyond his keeper Hassen Mouez as he tried to defend a Mubarak Wakaso freekick.<br />
<br />
Bedoui had just been brought on to try and safeguard Tunisia’s 1-0 lead in the final minutes of the game, but his change was counter-productive.<br />
<br />
Tunisia had gone ahead in the 72nd minute courtesy of a Taha Khenissi goal, but, as though fate would have it, the man who replaced him after 90 minutes undid the work he had done just 18 minutes earlier.<br />
<br />
While it was Khenissi who scored Tunisia’s goal in the regular 90 minutes, it was the experience of Wahbi Khazri off the bench that turned the game into Tunisia’s favor.<br />
<br />
Khazri came on in the 67th minute for Anice Badri and immediately, Tunisia’s game in the final third changed. Within two minutes of his presence, Tunisia came close when he ct back a cross from the left for Khenissi to shoot home, but the effort was blocked by Nuhu Kasim.<br />
<br />
In the 70th minute, Khazri swung in a corner from the right met by Khenissi again, this time the striker’s effort being denied by the crossbar.<br />
<br />
But two minutes later, his industry paid off when he won the ball on the right before playing Wajdi Kechrida through with the right back’s low cross into the box being turned home beyond Richard Ofori by Khenissi.<br />
<br />
Before Khazri’s arrival, it was Ghana who had the best scoring chances and they felt as though they should have gone to the break a goal up but had a late first half goal disallowed.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Skipper Andre Ayew back-heeled the ball into the net off his brother Jordan’s cross, but the goal was disallowed for a handball in the build-up.</h3>
<br />
Ghana had another close chance quarter of an hour into the game when Kasim’s header from a Wakaso corner struck the upright while Andre Ayew had his effort from the rebound saved by the keeper.<br />
<br />
With Tunisia’s late own goal, the game was forced into extra time and even then, it was a full contest despite the tired legs. Khazri forced a great save off Ofori with a strong shot from the edge of the area while Jordan Ayew fluffed Ghana’s best chance of the extra 30.<br />
<br />
Asamoah Gyan who was a late second half substitute brushed a header his way, but his technique on the colley was awry, the ball going wide.<br />

</tbody></table>
In a West African duel dominated by Mali, Ivory Coast was the most realistic team with a 1-0 victory. The Eagles may blame themselves for not having been able to score after so many many opportunities in the first half. The Elephants will face Algeria for a sport in the 2019 African Cup of Nations semifinals.<br />
<br />
The start of the game is somewhat dazzling for the Elephants with striker Jonathan Kodjia deflecting a ball Wilfried Zaha could not recover.<br />
<br />
Malians try to react on a long ball that gives nothing. The match seems well launched between two teams that accelerate the pace of play.<br />
<br />
 In the 11th minute, Moussa Marega on the right flanks is all alone but, in the penalty area, he hesitates when he tries to find Samassekou Diadié and the Ivorian defense emerges.<br />

The Malians return to the charge and it is Abdoulaye Diaby who eliminates his vis-à-vis but, his shot misses the frame.<br />
On a corner that the Eagles executed in the 17th minute, Abdoulaye Diaby misses the ball. The Malians are leading the game by multiplying the offensives but are clumsy in the last move.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In the 22nd minute, a free-kick about 30 meters away from Abdoulaye Diaby almost surprised goalkeeper Sylvain Gbohouo who, with his right hand, put it in a corner.<br />
<br />
The Malians dominate the game and come close to the opening of the score in the 42nd minute when Moussa Djenepo managed an overflow on his left side and place the ball for Moussa Marega who missed the shot.<br />
<br />
The two teams return to the locker room without any advantage.<br />
<br />
In the 52nd minute, on a Malian attack, Moussa Djenepo eliminates an opponent before collapsing alone against the goalkeeper. The Ivorians then wake up a bit and besiege the Malian camp for five minutes with two corners in quick succession but they give nothing.<br />
<br />
The Elephants are once again in trouble but, they manage to worry the Malian defense in the 67th minute after a pass in the back of the defenders and Jonathan Kodjia, at the reception, pulls aside.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Elephants scored in the 76th minute following a clearance from the Ivorian goalkeeper. The ball bounces in the surface and the Malian defender judge the ball badly. Wilfried Zaha took the opportunity and did not miss his shot against Djigui Diarra.<br />
<br />
The last minutes of the game are painful for the Eagles who have given everything without ever succeeding in making a difference. It is a heavy price after so many missed opportunities in the face of an Ivorian formation that was able to stab at the right moment. The Elephants get the seventh ticket of the quarter-finals and they will play against the Fennecs of Algeria on July 11 at the stadium of Suez.

Madagascar vs DR Congo (2 - 2), Madagascar beat DR Congo in 4-2 shootout as dream goes on

Sunday, July 07, 2019 ACCRA24.COM 0

<br />
Ibrahima Amada had put Madagascar ahead after nine minutes, firing the ball beyond Ley Matampi and into the top corner. Cédric Bakambu equalised 12 minutes later, heading home a terrific cross from left-back Ngonda Muzinga.<br />
<br />
Madagascar, who defeated Nigeria on their way to first place in Group B, reclaimed the lead through Faneva Andriatsima’s header after 77 minutes. Despite Mbemba’s leveller, the underdogs held their nerve to set up a meeting with Ghana or Tunisia.<br />
Egypt and Uganda part company with coaches<br />
<br />
The Egypt coach, Javier Aguirre, was sacked just hours after the Africa Cup of Nations hosts were bundled out of the tournament by South Africa on Saturday.<br />
<br />
Hany Abo Rida, president of the Egyptian FA, announced the 60-year-old’s departure and his own resignation less than three hours after the shock 1-0 defeat in the round of 16. Abo Rida called his resignation a “moral obligation” and urged his fellow board members to follow suit.<br />
<br />
Aguirre had told reporters after Saturday’s defeat that he took sole responsibility but was proud of all of his players. “The game was open and saw many chances. The only difference was that South Africa managed to score,” he said.<br />
<br />
Uganda have also parted company with their coach after exiting the tournament in the last 16. Sébastien Desabre is leaving the role in a decision the Ugandan FA described as “mutually agreed”, despite leading the Cranes to the knockout stages for the first time since 1978.<br />

<h3>
Hosts Egypt ended group A of the 2019 Total Africa Cup of Nations with maximum points after defeating Uganda 2-0 at Cairo International Stadium on Sunday night. The Pharaohs, already qualified before the game guaranteed the group top spot in grand style, winning all three matches of their mini league campaign.</h3>
Superstar Mohamed Salah and skipper Ahmed Elmohamady scored in the opening half final 10 minutes to give Egypt victory that guaranteed the top spot for the hosts, who now wait one of the qualified third teams (groups C, D or E) in the next round.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Uganda qualified to the round of 16, finishing the group in second place, one point more than DR Congo who defeated Zimbabwe 4-0. The Leopards will now wait to see if they can grab one of the four places for the third placed teams.<br />
<br />
Egypt started the match on attacking note, and had the game’s first attempt from Mahmoud Hassan “Trezeguet” who tried to go through Uganda’s defense but couldn’t control the ball.<br />
The tide turned to Uganda’s side from then and Egypt’s goalkeeper Mohamed Elshenawy proved to be Egypt’s man to thank in several occasions.<br />
<br />
Emanuel Okwi’s shot was destined to give The Cranes the lead after 13 minutes but found the safe hands of Elshenawy, who once again saved The Pharaohs after 24 minutes.<br />
<h3>
<a href="https://ofmtv.com/uganda-vs-egypt-0-2-goals/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Watch Video: Uganda vs Egypt [0:2] Highlights And Goals</a></h3>
<br />
Egypt was forced to do an early substitution after 24 minutes when forward Ahmed Hassan “Koka” was injured to leave his place to Marwan Mohsen.<br />
<br />
Elshenawy once again saved the hosts after 28 minutes when he stopped Allan Kyambadde’s shot from close distance. The same fate was there again three minutes later when Al Ahly goalkeeper deflected Kyambadde’s shot to a corner kick.<br />
<br />
And against the run of play, Egypt took the lead after 36 minutes. From a freekick Salah produced his magic once again to give The Pharaohs the lead with Uganda’s goalkeeper and captain Denis Onyango completely beaten.<br />
<br />
Two minutes from the break Elshenawy returned to be Egypt’s hero when he stopped Abdo Lumala’s shot. And just before seeing the halftime whistle, Egypt’s captain Elmohamady doubled the hosts lead.<br />
<br />
Left back Ayman Ahsraf sent a calling cross that Salah missed, just for Elmohamady ro send a curling shot that left Onyango hapless.<br />
<br />
The goal was Elmohamady’s second goal of the campaign, same as Salah.<br />
<br />
Uganda started the second half trying to reduce the deficit, but it was Egypt who could have scored the third when Salah went one on one with Onyango but the Ugandan shot stopper had the upper hand.<br />
<br />
Farouk Miya could have scored for Uganda after 55 minutes but his shot missed the target.<br />
<br />
Uganda had to deal with a huge blow when Onyango was injured and left his place to Robert Odongkara 20 minutes from time.<br />
<br />
Both teams looked satisfied with the result and nothing new happened, to see Egypt ending the group with the maximum points, while Uganda reached the knockout stages for the first time since 1978.<br />

<h3>
A catastrophic error from centre back Leon Balogun and a sumptuous freekick from Total Man of the match Carolus Andriamahitsinoro saw debutants Madagascar shock pre-tournament favorites Nigeria 2-0 and finish top of Group B.</h3>
The islanders continued writing their beautiful story at the Total Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Egypt 2019, remaining unbeaten in the group stage matches to finish on seven points. They will meet one of the four best placed number three teams in the last 16.<br />
<br />
With the defeat, Nigeria finish second and will meet the second placed team from Group F in Alexandria next weekend. Elsewhere in Cairo, Guinea beat Burundi 2-0 in the other Group B clash. Guinea has four points and is hoping to finish as one of the four best third placed teams.<br />
<br />
Madagascar went to the break a goal up, and deservedly so. They had been more patient in the build-up, stuck to their shape and when they had an opportunity, broke on the counter.<br />
<h3>
They were handed a gift on a golden platter by Balogun who fumbled with a pass before Nomenjanahary pounced and rounded keeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa to break the deadlock after just 12 minutes.</h3>
Ezenwa was coming in for his first match being among the changes effected by coach Gernot Rohr from the 1-0 win against Guinea. Others who came in were skipper John Obi Mike, William Troost Ekong, Samuel Kalu and John Ogu.<br />
<h3>
<a href="https://ofmtv.com/madagascar-vs-nigeria-2-0-goals/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Watch Video: Madagascar vs Nigeria [2-0] Highlights And Goals</a></h3>
<br />
In a slow start to the game, Nigeria had the first sniff at goal in the eighth minute when Ahmed Musa’s freekick from the edge of the box after Odion Ighalo was fouled going over.<br />
<br />
In the 18th minute, six after they had conceded, Nigeria came close when Kalu picked the ball on the right before making an attempt with a curling effort off his left boot that went just wide.<br />
<br />
On the half hour mark, Romain Metanire made a superb tackle to poke the ball off Musa’s feet as he prepared to tap into an empty net after the winger had picked up a cross inside the box before rounding the keeper.<br />
<br />
Nigeria started the second half with Rohr making a switch, Ogu coming off for Wilfred Ndidi who had been rested.<br />
<br />
But, Madagascar were not about to have their backs against the wall and eight minutes into the second half, when Andriamahitsinoro stood behind a freekick, it was all sealed.<br />
<br />
He curled the ball beautifully and it deflected on the end of the wall before dipping past Ezenwa.<br />
<br />
Nigeria sought to give an immediate reply and Ndidi came close with a shot on the half turn that went straight into the keeper’s arms. In the 65th minute, Etebo had a chance with a freekick, but he hit it slightly over the bar.<br />
<br />
Rohr made more changes, Alex Iwobi coming on for Mikel while Kalu paved way for Moses Simon. But, the die was cast and the jury was out, The Barea kept their three points.<br />
<h3>
What they said:</h3>
<h3>
Madagascar coach Nicolas Dupuis:</h3>
I am so delighted because of how we played today. I am very proud of my players and I would like to congratulate them for this result. It was a job well done and this is a big victory for us.<br />
I was happy when I learned about the groups because we were playing good teams and we had a chance to prove ourselves. I am happy that we did.<br />
<h3>
Lalaina Nomenjanahary, goal scorer Madagascar</h3>
This is a proud day for every Madagascar player and all the people back at home. We were saddened with the tragedy that happened on the Independence Day and we wanted to give the Malagasy people a gift.<br />
We are pleased and more so to finish top of this group and beating a big team like Nigeria.<br />
<h3>
Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr</h3>
Madagascar was the better team today. We started with giving them a gift and after, we could not find a solution. We made five changes because we wanted to give rest to some players and also preserve those with cards.<br />
<br />
Sometimes it happens when you are already qualified; the players are relaxed and playing easy.<br />
<h3>
Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo:</h3>
I think this is a wake up call for us, today, we played very poorly, we were relaxed and our mentality was not very good. Probably it is because we were already qualified but this game has shown us that there is no easy team in this competition.<br />
<br />
We have to go back, regroup and ensure we do well for the next game which is a match with no room for mistakes.<br />
<br />
We lost to a good team because Madagascar was the first to qualify for the tournament and there is no shame in losing to such a team.<br />

Herve Renard’s dream of winning the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with three different teams remained on course on Friday after seeing his side beat former employers Côte d'Ivoire 1-0 in their second Group D clash at the Al Salaam Stadium in Cairo to progress to the round of 16.<br />
<br />
Renard won the title with Zambia in 2012 and Côte d'Ivoire in 2015.<br />
<br />
The victory sees Morocco move top of the group with six points while the Ivorians drop to second with three and will have all to play for in the final game of the group against Namibia on Monday.<br />
<br />
Youssef En Nesyri grabbed the all important goal in the 23rd minute to hand the Atlas Lions their second win of this year’s showpiece.<br />

Morocco Keeper Yassin Bounou’s two brilliant saves in the final five minutes of the first half ensured Morocco went to the break a goal up, in an opening 45 minutes that was fast paced and rich in attacking play from both sides.<br />
<br />
Bounou twice rose up acrobatically to keep out two ferocious shots from distance by Serey Die who was accorded plenty of space from outside the area.<br />
<br />
The game started with a clear indication on how it would be for the entire 90 minutes. In the first minute of the game, Roman Saiss was forced to clear the ball from the line after Jonathan Kodjia bounced a header past the keeper off a Serge Aurier cross from the right.<br />
<br />
Morocco took the cue and also got on the attacking foot and their efforts paid off in the 23rd minute when En Nesyri broke the offside trap before sweeping home a brilliant through pass from Nordin Amrabat.<br />
<br />
Just before the goal, En Nesyri had come close when his connection from an Achraf Hakimi cross from the right came off the side netting with the Moroccan fans shouting in delight thinking the ball had gone in.<br />
<br />
Keeper Bounou was Morocco’s savior, making a brilliant block to deny Max Gradel at the edge of the box with Kodjia hitting the rebound wide with the keeper down.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the second half, Côte d'Ivoire went full offensive with coach Ibrahim Kamara pulling out Gradel and Jean Michael Seri for Maxwell Cornet and Wilfried Bony respectively. They were also forced to pull out skipper Aurier after he picked up an injury.<br />
<br />
Bony had a late chance but his header off a Bagayoko Mamadou cross went wide.<br />
<br />
Morocco should have killed off the game in added time but substitute Noussair Mazraoui hit the crossbar with a gaping goalmouth off a Hakimi cross.<br />
<br />
South Africa face Namibia in the other Group D Day Two game later at the same venue.<br />

Africa Cup of Nations 2019: Nigeria vs Guinea [1-0 ] - Kenneth Omeruo header seals qualification

Wednesday, June 26, 2019 ACCRA24.COM 0

Three-time winners Nigeria scored the only goal in the 73rd minute when Moses Simon's right-wing corner was headed in at the near post by Kenneth Omeruo.<br />
<br />
 They now have six points from their two games after a 1-0 win over Burundi in their first match on Saturday.

The top two nations in each of the six groups advance, along with the four best third-placed countries.

Nigeria dropped captain John Mikel Obi, who played for Middlesbrough in 2018-19, but their side did include Brighton defender Leon Balogun, Stoke midfielder Peter Etebo, Leicester midfielder Wilfried Ndidi and Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi.<br />
<br />
 The Gunners man had one of the best chances when it was goalless with a curled effort from just outside the penalty area, but Guinea goalkeeper Ibrahim Kone produced a spectacular one-handed save to push it over the bar.<br />
<br />
 Guinea's side included Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita, who was making his first start for club or country since 1 May, when he picked up a groin injury in the Reds' 3-0 loss to Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.<br />
<br />
 However, Keita received some strong challenges and only lasted 71 minutes before he was substituted.

He was replaced just before a Nigeria corner and Guinea, who now have one point from their two matches, went behind instantly thanks to Omeruo's header.<br />
<br />
 The other two nations in Group B, Madagascar and Burundi, play on Thursday (15:30 BST), before Burundi take on Guinea and Madagascar face Nigeria in the final round of group games on Sunday.
Analysis
<br />
<h3>
BBC World Service's John Bennett</h3>
They say it is a sign of a good team if you win without playing at your best. That is twice now that Nigeria have got the job done despite not hitting the heights.<br />
<br />
 There is plenty more to come from the Super Eagles and some real quality on the bench.

Guinea huffed and puffed but it's tough for them at this tournament with their star man Naby Keita half-fit. He was running on empty today at times but showed glimpses of what he can do towards the end of the first half.<br />
<br />
 Now the next challenge for Nigeria is finally sorting the bonus row.<br />
<br />
The players are expecting to receive the money on Friday. Then it would be all resolved and they can fully focus on the football.

<br />
<br />
 Kenneth Omeruo is registered as a Chelsea player but has had seven loan spells away from the club, including two with Middlesbrough<br />
