South Africa reached the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations with a two-goal, unanswered victory over Morocco. Paris Saint-Germain full-back Achraf Hakimi missed a penalty kick 5 minutes before the end of the match.
South Africa, which won the title in 1996, will play Cape Verde next Saturday. This is the first time since the 2013 edition that no Arab team has qualified for the quarters-finals. The tournament is being held in Ivory Coast until the 10th of next month.
