Nigeria’s hopes of securing a fourth Africa Cup of Nations title were ended on Tuesday after a penalty shootout loss to host nation Morocco in Rabat.

The semi-final encounter ended goalless after regulation time and extra time, before Morocco prevailed 4–2 on penalties, with goalkeeper Yassine Bounou saving two spot-kicks and earning the Man of the Match award.
