This article will be updated with the results. You might need to refresh to see the latest.
It’s the last two games of the last 16 at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. Two more teams have a chance to book their place in the quarterfinals of a tournament that has delivered bags of upsets.
Nigeria dumped title-defenders Cameroon out while South Africa booted Egypt out of their own competition.
It’s been crazy football.
No draws allowed here. Extra time and penalties await should teams go to a stalemate after 90 minutes. And we’ve already had our first shootout where underdogs Benin knocked title-hopefuls Morocco out of the competition.
Madagascar and Algeria also booked their spot in the next round of knockouts.
