Egypt and Ivory Coast meet in AFCON quarter-final in Agadir

Goal reports that Egypt and Ivory Coast meet in a high-stakes Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final today in Agadir, Morocco, at the Stade Adrar, with kick-off scheduled for 2 pm ET and 7 pm GMT. Egypt, the tournament’s record seven-time champions, are chasing a record-extending eighth title but reached the last eight after a hard-fought 3-1 Round of 16 win over Benin that required extra time, Mohamed Salah scoring a late winner to take his AFCON tally to three goals so far alongside Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush; coach Hossam Hassan has overseen a resilient but sometimes unconvincing run.

Ivory Coast arrive as defending champions and cruised to a 3-0 win over Burkina Faso in the previous round, with Manchester United’s Amad Diallo netting and setting up a goal, and the side expected to use midfielders Franck Kessié and Seko Fofana to dominate possession. English-language live streams are listed for a range of territories, including Fubo in the USA and Canada, E4 in the UK, beIN Sports in Australia, Malaysia and the Middle East (MENA), FanCode in India and SuperSport in South/Sub-Saharan Africa.

On team news, Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet remains a doubt but has shown positive signs and could be fit, while Mohamed El-Shenawy is expected to be fit despite rumours; the Ivory Coast are reported to have no sidelined players.
