Morocco's 2-0 win over Cameroon has provided a much-needed boost to the host nation's Africa Cup of Nations campaign, while Senegal's narrow victory over Mali has raised questions about their quarter-final prospects.
Brahim Diaz and Ismael Saibari scored either side of half time for Morocco, who outclassed their Indomitable Lions opponents with a convincing performance. Meanwhile, Senegal needed only one goal from Iliman Ndiaye to overcome a 10-man Mali side, whose Yves Bissouma was sent off after picking up his second yellow card.
The win has given Morocco new hope in their quest for the title, while Senegal must now regroup and focus on their next match. The quarter-finals are shaping up to be an exciting tournament, with Algeria taking on Nigeria and Egypt facing defending champions Ivory Coast.
With just one round of matches left, the stage is set for some thrilling contests. Can Morocco build on their impressive win to reach the final? Or will Senegal's narrow victory prove to be a turning point in their campaign? The answer will have to wait until the next matchday.

! Morocco totally dominated it and I'm loving how they're building momentum now 
. Can't help but think about all those people who can't afford to watch the games on TV in Africa, though 
. They deserve access to sports too, you know? Anyway, it's gonna be a wild ride in the quarter-finals 
! Algeria vs Nigeria is going to be intense 
Morocco's 2-0 win over Cameroon is totally justified - they outplayed those guys and deserved that result. It's awesome to see the host nation getting a boost like this, now they can push for the title.
, I'm curious to see how they'll bounce back from that narrow victory. Can't say much for Mali though, 10 men isn't exactly a good scenario 
. Still, their fight wasn't in vain - they've shown they can compete with the big boys.
. they totally outplayed cameroon and i think that win is gonna give them a huge confidence boost. senegal's win over mali was pretty intense though, especially with mali being 10 men down 
.
.
. one thing's for sure, this africa cup of nations is gonna be WILD RIDE 
meanwhile senegal's win was legit impressive considering how much time they wasted on offense 
. I mean, who doesn't love an underdog story, right? But seriously, Senegal's victory was super impressive considering they were down a man, that Yves Bissouma is such a drama king 
. Anyway, can't wait for the next matchday to see how these teams hold up against each other. My kiddo and I are going to be on the edge of our seats cheering them on
