Morocco reached the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time since 2004 as Brahim Diaz netted again during their 2-0 win over Cameroon on Friday. <\/p>\n The AFCON hosts will face Algeria or Nigeria for a place in the final after cruising past a Cameroon side who did not register a shot on target at Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah. <\/p>\n Both sides struggled to settle in the opening exchanges, but once Morocco found their groove, they were rewarded by their man of the moment in the 25th minute of the game. <\/p>\n Achraf Hakimi\u2019s corner from the right was headed on by Ayoub El Kaabi, with Diaz on hand to flick the ball beyond the grasp of Devis Epassy from inside the six-yard box. <\/p>\n Morocco continued to push for a second as Abde Ezzalzouli cut inside from the left and rippled the side-netting before El Kaabi repeated the trick in first-half stoppage time. <\/p>\n Walid Regragui\u2019s side were restricted to few chances after the interval, with Ezzalzouli\u2019s near-post header from another Hakimi corner narrowly going over the crossbar. <\/p>\n But they got the goal their performance deserved in the 74th minute when Ezzalzouli\u2019s free-kick flicked off the head of Nayef Aguerd, which teed up Ismael Saibari\u2019s fierce drive. <\/p>\n 5 \u2013 Players to score in five separate matches at a single CAF Africa Cup of Nations tournament:<\/p>\n 1974 \u2013 Ndaye Mulamba for DR Congo Stars. pic.twitter.com\/TBhMXcoqhB<\/a><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.soccernews.com\/wp-content\/themes\/SN\/images\/300x250_HR.gif\")
