A North African affair

AFP, Sousse
Morocco trounced Mali 4-0 at the Olympic Stadium here on Wednesday to set up the first-ever all-north African Nations Cup final clash against hosts Tunisia this weekend.
Youssef Mokhtari scored once in each half, first after 14 minutes through a free kick and then in the 57th minute when against the run of play he smashed a shot past the diving Mahamadou Sedibe in the Mali goal.
Youssef Hadji grabbed his third goal of the tournament after he stabbed home a fine through ball by Marouane Chamakh in the 80th minute before substitute Nabil Baha completed the rout in injury time.
Morocco will now face Tunisia in
Tunis on Saturday after the host nation defeated Nigeria 5-3 on penalties in the earlier semi-final. The match had ended 1-1 following extra time.

The Atlas Lions of Morocco opened the game brightly and within minutes Mokhtari fired the first warning when his first free kick of the game was pushed away for a corner by Sidibe.
After Mokhtari's free kick goal Mali fought back gamely for an equaliser with Tottenham ace Frederic Kanoute and his striking partner Dramane Traore proving a constant danger to the Moroccan backline ably marshalled by captain Noureddine Naybet, who was winning his 103rd cap.

Traore had also come very close as the Eagles of Mali kept up the pressure.
Mali continued with the same attacking verve after the break while Morocco pulled more bodies back into defence, which now looked to be missing the injured Paris Saint-Germain defender Talal El Karkouri.
But just when Mali looked like they would be rewarded for all their hard work, Mokhtari again popped up from nowhere to double Morocco's advantage early in the second half.
In one of the few attacks Morocco launched, Mokhtari ran at goal and from the edge of the box again fired beyond the Mali goalkeeper.
Goals from Hadji, the brother of former Aston Villa and Coventry midfielder Moustapha, and Baha in the space of 12 minutes finally took the match beyond the west Africans, who have now crumbled in three semi-finals, in 1994,2002 and 2004.
