Ramy Bensebaini cleared Calvin Bassey’s effort off the goal-line in a competitive but goalless first half. Just after the interval Victor Osimhen headed home, before Akor Adams tapped in to make it two. Eric Chelle's Super Eagles face tournament hosts Morocco in the last four on Wednesday in Rabat. The other semi-final is between Senegal and Egypt, after the Pharaohs beat Ivory Coast 3-2 in Agadir.
