Morocco loses to South Africa (0-2) in the round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations. The Atlas Lions were the first African country to reach the semi-finals of a World Cup in 2022.

It is therefore a new elimination of an African big name after Algeria, Tunisia, Ghana (group stage), Egypt and Senegal, the defending champion. South Africa will challenge Cape Verde on Saturday evening (9 p.m.) for a place in the last four.
