A late goal by Mahmoud Kahraba put Egypt into the African Nations Cup semifinals after they beat Morocco 1-0 in their quarter-final on Sunday.
Mahmoud Abdel Moneim "Kahraba" hammered home a corner kick in the 87th minute to break the deadlock and end their non-winning streak against Morocco, which has continued uninterrupted since 1986 when Al-Ahly former forward Taher Abou Zeid scored the winning goal against the Atlas Lions in the semifinals of the African Cup of Nations held in Egypt.
The Pharaohs have qualified for the quarterfinals in this year’s competition after defeating Ghana and Uganda, and drawing Mali, to finish at the top of group D, with seven points, two goals, and a clean sheet.
The Atlas Lions had secured their quarterfinals spot after beating Togo and the Ivory Coast, and losing to Congo. Morocco finished second in group C, scoring four goals and conceding two goals.
Egypt will now meet Burkina Faso in a semi-final to be played in Libreville on Wednesday.
