Morocco Beat Nigeria On Penalties To Reach AFCON Final

Hosts Morocco beat Nigeria 4-2 on penalties to reach the Africa Cup of Nations final after their semi-final clash on Wednesday finished 0-0 at the end of extra time.
Nigeria failed to create enough chances to score and failed to capitalize on the few ones they had.
At the end of 90 minutes, there were no goals, as both teams struggled to find the back of the net.

There was also no goals at the end of 120 minutes and the second finalist had to be decided via penalties.
Samuel Chukwueze and Bruno Onyemachi missed for the Eagles, while the Atlas Lions converted all their kicks.

Morocco will play Senegal in Sunday’s showpiece after they defeated Egypt 1-0 in the other semi-final earlier thanks to a Sadio Mane strike.
