The West Africans were firmly in control in the first half in Marrakech, with Adams spurning a glorious chance to open the scoring eight minutes before the break when he curled narrowly over the bar. Osimhen broke the deadlock for the Super Eagles just 85 seconds into the second half, heading Bruno Onyemaechi's deep cross from the left down and back across goal for his fourth goal at these finals. Adams added the second 10 minutes later when he rounded Algeria goalkeeper Luca Zidane after being played in by Osimhen following a fine Nigeria move. Sevilla forward Adams had a chance to make it 3-0 but headed against the left-hand upright from Osimhen's cross with nine minutes remaining. Nigeria, runners-up at the 2023 edition, will now face host nation Morocco in the last four in Rabat on Wednesday (20:00 GMT).

The hosts are ranked 117 places below Premier League side Palace, meaning this was the biggest upset in the competition of all time in terms of league places, but on the pitch that gap was non-existent as this was a deserved win for Macclesfield. Paul Dawson's brilliant header in the first half had the home fans in dreamland, before Isaac Buckley-Ricketts shocked Palace further when he prodded in a second after the break. Yeremy Pino set up a nervous finish for the hosts when he fired home a free-kick in stoppage time, but Macclesfield held on to secure the famous win.

The visitors established the platform for the success by taking a two-goal lead at half-time, with Emiliano Buendia and Morgan Rogers on target. Spurs, who lost Richarlison to a 31st-minute hamstring injury, improved vastly after the break and Wilson Odobert gave them hope when he pulled a goal back nine minutes after the restart. But Villa held the hosts at bay to send the eight-time winners out, with ugly scenes at the final whistle as players from both sides clashed, Spurs players seemingly unhappy with Rogers' celebrations in front of the elated visiting support. Unai Emery's men were dominant early on, Buendia taking advantage of good work by Donyell Malen to end a slick move with a powerful finish in the 22nd minute. Rogers doubled their lead in first-half stoppage time, finding space and time in the area from Buendia's clever flick to fire a low strike past Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario. Spurs fans reacted furiously at the half-time whistle, but were encouraged by the attacking intent shown by Frank's side in the second period. Odobert gave them a lifeline with a low drive beyond Marco Bizot for his second goal for the club. Spurs piled on the pressure, but failed to test Bizot enough and Pedro Porro kicked off the line to deny Buendia at the other end. As they celebrated a place in the fourth round, Spurs' crisis deepened with just two wins in 13 games.

Liberato Cacace and Ollie Rathbone struck in quick succession late in the opening half to put Wrexham in command, although Igor Jesus' eighth goal of the season in the 64th minute gave Forest hope. Dom Hyam restored Wrexham's lead with a header, but Callum Hudson-Odoi struck twice - including an 89th-minute leveller - as the tie went to penalties after a goalless extra-time. And keeper Arthur Okonkwo proved the home side's hero as he denied Jesus and Omari Hutchinson in the shootout as Phil Parkinson's men - under the watchful eye of co-owner Ryan Reynolds - won 4-3 on penalties to beat top-flight opposition for the first time since 1999 and progress into round four. Having gone into the match on the back of four successive Championship wins, Wrexham had plenty of cause for optimism against a Forest side that showed eight changes from their morale-boosting 2-1 victory at West Ham United three days earlier. After a low key start, Forest thought they had gone ahead on 18 minutes as Douglas Luiz drilled beyond Okonkwo from close range, only for the goal to eventually be chalked off due to handball by the Brazilian midfielder. The contest had been sparked into life as Rathbone had a shot blocked shortly before Okonkwo parried Luiz's drilled free-kick to safety at the other end. But shortly after Sam Smith dragged a shot wide, Wrexham took the lead in superb fashion. George Dobson robbed Hutchinson of possession and Cacace - on his first start in more than two months - rifled beyond Matz Sels from 20 yards in the 37th minute to register his first goal for the club in style. They were in dreamland just three minutes later as Nathan Broadhead picked out Rathbone who was the beneficiary of a fortunate ricochet off the legs of Morata, and he coolly slotted beyond Sels with his fourth goal in eight outings since returning from injury.

A goal in each half, scored by Brahim Diaz and Ismael Saibari, was enough to see off their opponents, who rarely threatened. Diaz tucked home from close range in the 26th minute after Ayoub El Kaabi's flick on from a corner, using his thigh to nudge the ball into the net for his fifth goal of the tournament. Saibari's goal also came from a set piece, firing home a low left-footed drive after picking up a loose ball from a free-kick. Played in a febrile atmosphere reminiscent of those produced by North African fans at the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar, Walid Regragui's side never looked in any real danger during an ill-tempered encounter. Having now matched their historic run to the semi-finals in Qatar, Regragui's side are two wins away from claiming the country's first continental crown since 1976. Morocco are now unbeaten in 25 matches - a run stretching back to their last-16 exit at the 2023 edition of the finals - and are into the last four at an Afcon for the first time since 2004, when they went on to lose against Tunisia in the final. The Atlas Lions will have a huge home advantage again when they return to this stadium on Wednesday (20:00 GMT) to play the winners of Saturday's quarter-final between Algeria and Nigeria (16:00 GMT).
