Algeria and Ivory Coast have claimed the final two spots in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) quarterfinals. Both teams won their last-16 matches in Morocco on Tuesday.
Algeria's victory was powered by a standout performance from Adil Boulbina. For Ivory Coast, the key player was Amad Diallo.
The two nations advanced with what observers called "contrasting victories." This means each team won in a very different manner, though specific details of the matches were not immediately released.
The wins complete the eight-team lineup for the tournament's next stage. The quarterfinal matches will determine which nations move closer to the continental championship.
