• South Africa 3-2 Zimbabwe | Egypt 0-0 Angola

• Angola face wait to qualify but Zimbabwe out

Oswin Appollis scored a penalty in the final 10 minutes to hand South Africa a 3-2 victory over Zimbabwe in Marrakech on Monday and seal second spot in Group B at the Africa Cup of Nations, dumping their southern African rivals out of the tournament.

South Africa finish with six points in the group, one behind Egypt. Both those advance to the last 16 as Angola, on two points, finish in third and face an anxious wait to see if that is enough as one of the four best third-placed sides.

• Egypt 2 (Marmoush 64, Salah 90+1) Zimabwe 1 (Dube 20)

• Record Afcon winners recover to win in Agadir

There were no apologies from Mohamed Salah to his teammates in red on Monday night, with Egypt’s players grateful to Liverpool’s troubled superstar for conjuring a stoppage-time winner.

After failing to capitalise on a dominant start, the seven-times Afcon winners required a stunning equaliser from Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush and Salah’s late winner to spare their blushes against the aptly named Warriors from Zimbabwe, who have never progressed beyond the group stages.
