Rabat: Morocco’s U-20 football team qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals after beating their Sierra Leone counterparts 1-0 Monday at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the victory secured Morocco a spot in the upcoming U-20 World Cup in Chile. The decisive moment came in extra time, after a goalless regulation period, when Amara Keita scored an own goal in the 115th minute, giving Morocco the lead.

For a place in the final, the Atlas Cubs will face the winner of the quarter-final between Egypt and Ghana.
