Mokhtari double sends Morocco into final

Two goals from forward Youssef Mokhtari helped Morocco to the African Cup of Nations final at the expense of Mali.

Mokhtari opened the scoring with a superb free-kick from the edge of the penalty area before doubling the lead with a low drive after the break.

With 10 minutes remaining Youssef Hadji added a third when he converted Marouane Chamakh's brilliant centre.

And in stoppage time substitute Nabil Baha rounded off the rout with a stunning effort from outside the box.
