"Africa Cup of Nations hosts Morocco dispatched Zambia 3-0 at a fervid Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Monday to round off their Group A campaign in style and ease into the round of 16. Ayoub El Kaabi's double -- including another sensational bicycle kick -- and Brahim Diaz's fine finish were enough to see off a limited Zambia side, eliminating them from contention, while Mali's 0-0 draw with Comoros in Casablanca was enough for them to advance as runners-up."
"El Kaabi opened the scoring after nine minutes; a corner was played to Azzedine Ounahi and the striker met his lofted ball into the box with a stooping diving header that flew in beyond Willard Mwanza. The outstanding Diaz added a second in the 27th minute, firing home with aplomb after the lively Abde Ezzalzouli's cross from the left had evaded the outstretched El Kaabi in the centre of the box."
