Morocco's 1-0 win over Zambia at the Africa Cup of Nations on Wednesday had the knock-on effect of sending Ivory Coast through to the last 16, after a day in which the tournament hosts sacked their coach.
The final day of group-stage action also saw Namibia secure a place in the knockout stage of an AFCON for the first time, while South Africa progressed and several of the continent's heavyweights responded to shock eliminations by parting company with their managers.
