Egypt vs Morocco LIVE: Africa Cup of Nations result, final score and reaction from quarter-final tie tonight

LIVE – Updated at 18:30

Mohamed Salah was the saviour for his team once again, as Egypt came from behind to beat Morocco 2-1 after extra time at the Africa Cup of Nations. The quarter-final tie was a stop-start affair with more fouls and clashes among the players than chances on goal, but the Pharaohs had enough quality in the final third thanks to their talismanic No10 to come up with two clinical moments from close range - and were indebted to goalkeeper Mohamed Abougabal, who went off injured after a fantastic late save.

It had all started very positively for the Atlas Lions, with PSG full-back Achraf Hakimi striding into the box and being brought down just a couple of minutes into the game. Despite the referee somehow not spotting the foul, VAR insisted on a pitchside monitor check and the spot-kick was duly given - Sofiane Boufal confidently rattling home the penalty for a third goal of the tournament.

Salah found the equaliser just minutes after the restart, tapping home from close range after an initial header was saved and parried back out to him - before Egyptian fans were able to break into celebration soon after extra time got underway. Salah this time was the creator, occupying two defenders with a rapid dribble off the right flank and laying a perfect cross along the six-yard box for Trezeguet to slide home. Follow all the live reaction as Egypt beat Morocco below:
