Egypt and Nigeria set up a semi-final clash at the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday, with Egypt beating defending champions Ivory Coast 3-2, with Mohamed Salah scoring the decisive goal.

The result means Ivory Coast have become the eighth consecutive defending champions to fail to defend their title. Egypt last defended their title in 2010.

Similarly, Nigeria, aided by Victor Osimhen's excellent performance, defeated Algeria 2-0. With this, the semi-final equation of the competition is complete.

Senegal will now face Egypt in the first semi-final, while Nigeria will face hosts Morocco in the second semi-final.
