North African giants Morocco were eliminated from the African Cup of Nations (ACN) following a goalless draw with Libya in their Group A match that took place on Saturday. The result put Morocco in third place in Group A on two points, one ahead of Libya as both teams were eliminated from the first round. Hosts Egypt beat Ivory Coast 3-1 as both teams advanced to the quarterfinals as winners and runners-up respectively. Both sides gave a mediocre performance in a match that more tense than enticing. Morocco dominated the majority of the game but were kept at bay by a resilient Libyan defense.
