quarterfinal #4 Cameroun - Côte d'Ivoire 1:1(0:0)(0:0) n.V. , E: 11:12
After a match in which the two sides neutralized each other except from a sudden eruption in extra-time. A penalty shoot-out to remember rounded up what was a tough battle of two African giants on the same level.

quarterfinal #2 Egypt - Congo DR 4:1(2:1)
The match of this Nations Cup for football romantics. Two teams which knew their strengths (attacking) and weaknesses (defence). The consequence: Everybody tried to score as many goals as possible.
Heroic the attempts of the Congolese after the 1:3. Attack after attack branded towards the Egyptian goal, and each one dangerous but eventually unlucky.
At last the greater balance of the Egyptian team paid off with a result that was a little cynical.

MATCHES AND RESULTS > QUARTER FINALS Tags: Senegal
quarterfinal #1 Guinea - Senegal 2:3(1:0)
A match of two relatively similar teams, and a local derby, though on Egyptian soil. A match of tough physical challenges, igniting tensions occasionally.
In the first half Guinea had a slight edge in midfield first.
But the first goal eventually resulted from unconcentrated build up by the Senegal defence who were twice stripped off the ball by consequently attacking Guinean forwards.
The first scene resulted in an offside goal but the second situation counted.
Already at the end of the first half the turnaround began.
Senegal increasingly were able to create chances though concentrated defending by the Guineans (except the keeper who spilled a number of balls again).
In difference to the group matches they were able to convert their superiority into goals, not at last thanks substitute Niang who scored twice.
Feinduno did have a chance to score the 2:2 but struck wide. His fine freekick (2:3) came too late.
