AFCON 2022 last 16: Fixture dates, UK kick-off times, full match schedules and venues for knockout stage

The knockout stage of the Africa Cup of Nations got off to a dramatic start as Nigeria crashed out in one of the first last-16 ties.

The Super Eagles were tipped as many people’s favourites for the tournament after an impressive showing in the group stage but they slipped to a shock 1-0 defeat Tunisia.

Also through to the quarter-finals are Burkina Faso, who beat 10-man Gabon on penalties following a 1-1 draw. Tournament debutants Gambia saw off Guinea in a match with plenty of late drama, holding on for a 1-0 victory.

Hosts Cameroon were given a scare by Comoros, but they booked their place in the last eight with a 2-1 win, while Senegal got past nine-man Cape Verde with a 2-0 victory. They will play Equatorial Guinea in the last eight, after their tense win on penalties over Mali.

Morocco are into the quarter-finals, with a 2-1 win over Malawi, and they will face with Egypt. Mo Salah was the hero, as he scored the winning penalty in the shootout to knock Ivory Coast out.

Here’s the full fixture schedule, UK kick-off times and venues across the round of 16.
