Played in down the left by fellow substitute Ramiz Zerrouki, Boulbina outpaced a tired-looking Aaron Wan-Bissaka, cut back inside and unleashed an unstoppable right-footed drive that whipped over goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi and went in off the underside of the bar for the only goal of the game. The result, which leaves the Congolese still looking for their first win over Algeria, was harsh on the Central Africans. Having competed throughout an even contest in Rabat they looked to have earned themselves what appeared an inevitable penalty shootout before Boulbina's intervention. In a game of few chances, with defences well on top, France idol Zinedine Zidane was once again in attendance to watch his son Luca keep a fourth clean sheet of the tournament for Les Fennecs. With such a miserly rearguard, the 2019 Afcon champions will fancy their chances of styming their free-scoring quarter-final opponents Nigeria when they meet in Marrakesh on Saturday (16:00 GMT).

The Manchester United winger put the Elephants ahead in the 20th minute when he bustled past a couple of defenders and sent a dinked finish past goalkeeper Herve Koffi from close range. Twelve minutes later Amad laid on the second for Yan Diomande, who sent a curling finish past the wrongfooted Koffi from just inside the area. Dango Ouattara came close to pulling one back for the Stallions before the break, but his right-footed effort from a narrow angle hit the base of the left-hand upright and rebounded into the arms of Ivorian keeper Yahia Fofana. Fofana then made a smart reaction save with his right boot to once again deny Brentford forward Ouattara just after the hour mark, while Amad was denied his second by a similarly fine stop by Koffi. In the end it was teenager Bazoumana Toure who grabbed the third late on with a fine solo goal, racing forward from midway inside his own half and beating Koffi inside the left-hand upright with a clinical finish. Emerse Fae's men will now face record seven-time champions Egypt, who beat Benin 3-1 after extra time on Monday, in a heavyweight last-eight clash in Agadir on Saturday (19:00 GMT).

The Super Eagles were on top from the off, and talisman Victor Osimhen had an effort ruled out for offside within the first two minutes. Their pressure eventually told in the 20th minute as Ademola Lookman curled home from Akor Adams' cutback to break the deadlock. Five minutes later Osimhen doubled the advantage, turning in after Alex Iwobi's incisive play through midfield released Lookman and his ball across took a deflection off Adams. Mozambique, making their first appearance in the knockout stage, struggled to contain Nigeria's relentless attack and offered little threat going forward. Osimhen made it 3-0 early in the second half, tapping in from Lookman's clever ball across from the left at the back post to score his second of the night. Adams then capped a fine individual display, firing in Nigeria's fourth in the 75th minute after more good work by Lookman. Nigeria, who could have added more, now await Algeria or DR Congo in Saturday's quarter-final tie in Marrakech (16:00 GMT).

A combination of freezing temperatures and the decision of some Foxes fans to boycott the match, in a public show of discontent at how owner Khun Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha has handled the club in recent years, meant there were swathes of empty seats at the 32,000-capacity ground. Jordan Ayew gave the supporters who did show up an early reason to celebrate, linking up with Jordan James in the box to sweep home the opening goal from eight yards out. Karlan Grant equalised for Albion before the break, racing into space on the counter-attack before picking out the bottom corner with a curling finish. The visitors carved out numerous second-half chances - an Isaac Price effort deflected onto the post while Foxes keeper Jakub Stolarczyk made a string of fine saves after that – before Fatawu slammed home the winner against the run of play in the last minute of stoppage time.

Clearcut chances were at a premium in Marrakesh, with Salah, who remains in the hunt for a first Afcon title with his country, largely a peripheral figure until his strike in the 124th minute. After a goalless first half, Egypt midfielder Marwan Attia broke the deadlock with a fine hit from the edge of the penalty area which found the top corner with just over 20 minutes of normal time to play. With Benin struggling to create, it looked like one goal would be enough, until Junior Olaitan's cross took a big deflection which goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy could only claw off his line and Jodel Dossou gobbled up the loose ball with seven minutes to go. With both sides cancelling each other out in extra time, it was no surprise to see a set piece prove the difference, with Yasser Ibrahim's sinew-stretching effort from near the penalty spot looping past despairing Cheetahs goalkeeper Marcel Dandjinou. Salah then added the gloss in the final minute, racing clear and using the outside of his left boot to curl exquisitely past Dandjinou from well outside the box. The defeat means Benin will not replicate their 2019 run to the last eight, while Egypt's reward is a tie against either Ivory Coast or Burkina Faso, who meet on Tuesday, back in Agadir on Saturday (19:00 GMT).
