Egypt beats Morocco in extra time to reach Afcon semis
Mohamed Salah scored one goal and set up the other as seven-time champion’s Egypt came from behind to beat Morocco in extra time in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals.
Sofiane Boufal gave Morocco an early lead with a penalty after Ayman Ashraf caught Achraf Hakimi, a decision given by the video assistant referee.
But Salah tapped in an equaliser after Yassine Bounou parried a header and the game went to extra time.
Liverpool’s Salah squared for Aston Villa’s Trezeguet to tap in a winner.
