The Africa Cup of Nations is speeding towards a conclusion with the final picture now taking shape.
Senegal were the first team to confirm their place in the final, edging out Egypt in Tangier.
Hosts Morocco then needed a penalty shootout to edge past Nigeria in Rabat after a goalless draw in regulation and extra time.
Quarter-final action began last Friday with ten-man Mali falling to Senegal, before five-time winners Cameroon crashed out at the hands of hosts Morocco.
Then on Saturday, Nigeria overcame Algeria with a dominant performance to seal their place in the last-four and then Egypt took the last semi-final place after beating Ivory Coast in a thriller.
The final and third-place game will be held across Saturday, January 17 and Sunday, January 18.
