Coach Hector Cuper of Egypt will be hoping to beat Moroccoand take his side closer to an eighth title when they meet in the quarterfinalsof the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. The Pharaohs topped a group that also had Ghana,Mali and Uganda after winning twice and drawing once. They would have had aperfect score in the group qualification lot but Mali held on in their firstmatch for a barren draw. Morocco started their group bid on a wrong note losing1-0 to eventual group champions DR Congo. However, they made amends by beatingTogo 3-1 and Ivory Coast 1-0. The quarterfinal will be tough challenge for bothCuper and Herve Renard, who is in the tournament four times before, and theonly way they can survive is by fielding their best squads. Roma star Mohamed Salah, who scored inEgypt’s win over Ivory Coast and assisted in Abdallah Said’s winning goalagainst Uganda will be leading the Egyptian troupes and he is among the mostlikely players from the squad to score. On the other end, Deportivo La Corunaplaymaker Faycal Fajr will be theman to watch as he continues grow from strength to strength in the tournament.
