Morocco have booked a place in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations, and Gabon, Guinea and Senegal are also set to advance, but four-time champions Ghana are in danger of being knocked out after four games in Cameroon on Friday.

Morocco beat the Comoros 2-0 for a second victory and a first-place finish in Group C with six points, and Christmas with a four-point lead after a late draw to keep Ghana 1-1 in a second match in Yaounde. Jim Allevinah’s 88th-minute blow will almost certainly see him at Christmas, if not among the top two in the set among the top four finishers in the six sets.
