Quarter 1: All you need to know
Senegal vs. Benign
The match will take place at the June 30 stadium of the Egyptian capital, Cairo, where the Teranga Lions will be opposed to the squirrels of Benin.
The two teams, who have never won the prestigious award, hope to qualify for the semi-finals and take a step forward in history.
Sadio Mane's Senegal will be a favorite in the match but will be wary of the Beninese team that has not yet won or lost a match of this tournament, after holding the giants of football like Cameroon, Ghana and Morocco in deadlock.
"We must give each team their right and the respect of Benin. There are no small teams in Africa, the quality is very similar. Even if we are the favorites on paper, the newspapers do not decide anything, "said Senegal coach Aliou Cissé.
"Our presence at this stage is not a coincidence, we have worked hard and I believe in my players," said Benin coach Michel Dussuyer.
Senegal and Benin have not met before AFCON l & # 39; history.
Nigeria vs. South Africa
Nigeria, three-time champion of Africa, will face South African Bafana Bafana, winner of the tournament in 1996.
The Super Eagles who defeated their Cameroonian opponents in the round of 16 will hope to avoid the fate of their host, Egypt, who was upset by South Africa in the previous stage.
"We are preparing very well for the match because it will be very difficult and against a strong team," said Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo, before the meeting on July 10 at the international stadium in Cairo.
South Africa beat Nigeria in their opening match of AFCON qualifiers in June 2017, and were 1-1 in the second leg.
"Nigeria are one of the best teams in this tournament and it will be a tough match," said South African coach Stuart Baxter.

Ghana against Tunisia
Ghana dominated their group with a Group F victory over Guinea-Bissau. They drew 2-2 against Benin and none against Cameroon.
Tunisia was second in Group E after three draws with Mali, Mauritania and Angola. They were the only North African country not to win a match in the group matches.
Egypt, Morocco and Algeria won all their group matches without yielding. Egypt has since been expelled by Benin from South Africa and Morocco.
The Tunisians will claim to be the second North African team after qualifying Algeria on Sunday night with a 3-0 win over Guinea.
Côte d'Ivoire beats Mali to install Algeria
A 76-minute drive from Wilfred Zaha was enough for all Côte d'Ivoire elephants to qualify for the quarter-finals of the AFCON. They eliminated Mali by the result.
They will now face Algeria who has qualified for the last eight games Sunday after defeating Guinea by three goals to zero.
Mali had overthrown Ivorian ownership in the first half of the year, but had failed to convert its chances.
The first half saw an equal number of exchanges of possession. 51% to Ivorians against 49% for Malians. But the Ivory Coast is past.
Tournament record: Mali dominated their group with seven points (two wins and one draw) with a total of six goals. The Ivorians lost a match and won two, scoring five goals en route.

The winners of the match against Suez will face Algeria in the quarter-finals while the winner in Ismailia will face Madagascar in the next match.
Mali vs Ivory Coast
Mali has not yet registered a defeat after winning two wins and a draw in the group stage. Victories over Mauritania and Angola and draw against Tunisia.
Côte d'Ivoire, however, qualified at this stage with two wins (Namibia and South Africa) and a defeat against Algeria.
It is a battle between the first and the second (Mali) and the second (Ivory Coast). Mali will continue its first AFCON trophy with the Ivory Coast chasing their third.

One night to forget, remember – hosts and holders crush
The second day of the round of 16 caused the biggest shock of the tournament until the holders (Cameroon) and the organizers (Egypt) were excluded from the competition.
Not too much surprise for the holders who were beaten by their Nigerian neighbors in a match that ended at 3 – 2, allowing Nigerians to qualify for the quarterfinals.

The story of how South Africa's Bafana Bafana staged a win against Egypt is one of the episodes to be remembered in AFCON l & # 39; history. The bookies had long projected a victory for the Pharaohs – but the Bafana Bafana had other ideas.
A late goal Thembinkosi Lorch; and a nervous wait in the final minutes allowed South Africans who finished third in their group with one victory to make an appointment with Nigeria.
Made and dusted.

Key statistics and facts from action in the group stage
All quarterfinals in West Africa
From Dakar to Cotonou, everything is planned for the first quarter-final at the AFCON. It's Senegal against Benin.
Both ECOWAS MEPs, however, will set aside their regional ties and neighborhood for "hostilities" on the ground as they seek a place in the semifinals.
For Senegalese, it will be a first AFCON title for Benin, it will be rather to pursue more history.
Being in the quarterfinals is a historic feat because the stadium farthest away from the tournament is the stadium group stage. Beating Morocco on July 5th is one of the biggest victories.
This is also one of the inconveniences of the current tournament, which is perhaps the feat of Madagascar in chalk Nigeria.
Senegal on the other hand put behind a defeat against Algeria who sandwiched the victories against Kenya and Tanzania before eliminating Uganda. They beat three teams from East Africa by one goal (Uganda), two goals (Kenya) and three goals (Tanzania).
Uganda falls in Senegal and sets up clash in Benin
The Uganda Cranes fell to the Teranga Lions of Senegal in the second round of the tournament's 16 matches.

Madagascar puts Nigeria ahead of Group B
Madagascar recorded the biggest surprise of the AFCON today beating Nigeria, winner of the last group B match. They finished first in the group with Nigeria in second place.
Guinea also beat Burundi by two goals to zero to finish with four points. The National Syli will probably be part of the next round as the third best team.
12 ': L. Nomenjanahary scored the first goal for Madagascar. Nigeria insisted on getting an equalizer but the Madagascans held up well until the end of the first half.
After the break, Madagascar doubled their lead on a free kick in the 52nd minute thanks to C. Andrea. They kept the mark of both goals to the amazement of most football fans.
In the case of the Burundi – Burundi match, the Burundians had a terrible start when they were reduced to 10 men after Nduwarugira Christophe received a red card in the 12th minute.
The Guineans scored their first goal through Mr. Yattara in the 25th minute. He doubled the lead in the second half in the 52nd minute.
Both games were played at the same time. Burundi vs Guinea in Cairo and Nigeria vs Madagascar in Alexandria.
This is so GROUP B finished after the last day of matches:
Madagascar – 7pts (+3)
Nigeria – 6pts (+0)
Guinea – 4pts (+1)
Burundi – 0pts (-4)
Preview: Day 11
There are places in the round of 16 to win, as the last group matches are in focus in groups A and B in Egypt.
The big game is in Group A, where host Egypt must avoid defeat against Uganda if they want to dominate the group. They won the first two games against Zimbabwe and DR Congo 1-0, 2-0 respectively.
The Uganda Cranes have four points on a win against DRC and a draw against Zimbabwe. They will look for a place of choice and could be a headache for guests.
Zimbabwe has everything to do if it wants to have a chance to move on to the next stage, but DRC will have some reservations, as they will also seek to end the group stage in style by canceling the two previous defeats.
The Nigerians in Group B, who have already started earlier, have already booked their qualification against the beginners, Madagascar, who won a match against their counterparts in Burundi, their first match against Guinea.
Guinea with one point will seek to accumulate misery on Burundi. A defeat today means that they lost all three games in their first match. AFCON exit. With the possibility of a team in third place to win the round of 16, there is plenty to play for.
