Deportivo San Martín Descripción general

The Super Eagles, who have won the competition three times - 1980 when they hosted it, 1994 in Tunisia, and 2013 in South Africa, were in a class of their own against Os Mambas in a Round of 16 assignment played at the Fez Stadium on Monday night. It was a game they needed to win as they chase their fourth crown, having come close in 2023.

The Eagles endured a tough time at Mohamed V Stadium in Casablanca against the Carthage Eagles to make the last eight of the biennial competition and send their fans into raptures. The North African team were punished for failing to take their chances and coming up with tactics to stop the determined opponents who played with a man less for almost 100 minutes. Ex-Glamour Boys target saved two penalties in the shootout to see his team through.
