Morocco are through to the last eight of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after a 2-1 victory over stubborn Malawi at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde.
Gabadinho Mhango put Malawi into an early lead with an exceptional strike.
But Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri levelled at the end of the first half and Paris St-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi sealed the win for the Atlas Lions.
Morocco’s quarter-final opponents will be either Egypt or Ivory Coast, who meet in Douala on Wednesday.
A well-observed silence was held before kick-off in memory of those killed at Yaounde’s Olembe Stadium on Monday night.
The players wore black armbands and messages of condolence were displayed on the advertising hoardings.
