Real Madrid striker Ibrahim Abdelqader Diaz led Morocco to advance to the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals by scoring the winning goal against Tanzania 1-0. This victory allows the 'Atlas Lions' to continue their dream of winning their first title in 50 years and their second in history. Diaz scored in the 64th minute, becoming the tournament's top scorer with four goals. In the next round, Morocco will face South Africa or Cameroon. Morocco joined Senegal and Mali, who also reached the quarter-finals. For Tanzania, this tournament was historic, as they reached the round of 16 for the first time. Morocco's coach, Walid Regragi, made two changes to the starting lineup, returning injured players to the game. Tanzania could have surprised Morocco early on but failed to capitalize on their chances. Morocco dominated the second half and secured the result thanks to Diaz's individual brilliance.
