RABAT, Jan 15 (Reuters) - The rankings ‌proved spot on as Africa's top two teams advanced to this weekend's Cup of Nations final, with Morocco ‌and Senegal setting up a heavyweight clash.

But while Senegal overcame Egypt 1-0 in 90 minutes in Tangier ‌on Wednesday, Morocco needed a penalty shootout before disposing of Nigeria after a goalless draw in Rabat to book their place in Sunday's decider.
