Morocco completed its march to the African Nations Cup along with Senegal and South Africa. Morocco came from behind in its game with Angola to win in Rabat on Wednesday.
Here’s what happened in Rabat. Hicham Aboucherouane set up an equaliser for Maroune Chamakh on the stroke of halftime before grabbing the winner himself in the 51st minute. South Africa just slipped past Botswanna with a late goal from striker Sibusiso Zuma. Botswanna lost two players to red cards during the ill tempered game.
Dipsy Selowane made a bad tackle sending home captain Aaron Mokoena off the field on a stretcher. Boitumelo Makoko was sent from the game after a two foot lunge at the end of the game. Senegal defeated Benin in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso thanks to a late goal by mid-fielder Babacar Gueye. The Nations Cup begins on Sunday.
