2019 champions Algeria face Nigeria in a heavyweight quarter final of the Africa Cup of Nations. Algeria are on a run of 11 wins in 14 games and look the side to beat. Nigeria have also impressed while in Morocco but have not beaten Algeria in their last four meetings.

At last, Morocco have arrived at the tournament they are hosting. For four games they had played scratchy, crabbed football. Finally, in a spiky, ill-tempered quarter-final, there was something more like the Morocco that reached the semi-final of the World Cup just over three years ago. If the game wasn't fluent, that was largely Cameroon's doing as they spoiled and sought treatment.

Cameroon knocked us out in the 1988 semifinal, but the past is the past. Today we are a new Morocco. We also have something to lose. We are organising the event at home, and in four months we play the World Cup. There is a big challenge ahead. This is the Cup of Africa for humility. If we play with modesty, we will achieve a good result. The decision will be made on the pitch.
