Yasser Ibrahim’s superb header and Mohamed Salah's breakaway strike earned record seven-time champions Egypt a hard-fought 3-1 extra-time victory over Benin in the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 on Monday, according to beIN Sports.
Egypt will face defending champions Ivory Coast or Burkina Faso in the quarter-finals in Agadir on Saturday.
In another match, a goal and two assists from Ademola Lookman, along with a brace from Victor Osimhen, helped Nigeria beat Mozambique 4-0 and reach the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigeria have scored in their last 11 games in the AFCON, their longest run of games with a goal in the competition (since at least 2009-2010).
