Morocco come from behind to beat Malawi & move into Afcon quarterfinals

Morocco came from behind to beat Malawi and advance to the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon on Tuesday.

Malawi had scored inside the opening seven minutes through Gabadinho Mhango but Morocco drew level just before half time.

Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi then put the Atlas Lions in front with a stunning freekick in the 70th minute and they held on to secure victory.

Morocco will face Senegal, who beat Cape Verde earlier, for a place in the semifinals.
