NIGERIA ended Cameroon’s four-year reign as continental champions yesterday when they won 2-1 to reach the semi-finals of the African Nations Cup.

They fought back from a goal down against the four-time winners in Monastir to book a semi-final berth with hosts Tunisia on Wednesday.

Nigeria, winners in 1980 and 1994, were joined in the semi-finals by Morocco, who came back from the brink of elimination to beat Algeria 3-1 after extra-time in Sfax to set up a last four showdown with Mali.
