Morocco knocks Nigeria out in penalty shootout

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been knocked out of the AFCON after 120 minutes of play that saw them play penalties with the host country Morocco.

It was a tense-soaked match with Morocco really pushing to win a very tactical Super Eagle side that took all the pressure almost calmly.

Youssef En-Nesyri stroked the winning spot kick into the bottom corner after Yassine Bounou saved from Samuel Chukwueze and Bruno Onyemaechi.

It means the Atlas Lions have reached their first Afcon final since 2004, as they bid to lift the trophy for the first time since 1976.

They face Senegal in Sunday’s final (19:00 GMT) after they beat Egypt in Wednesday’s first semi-final
