Ismael Saibari: Our aim is to go all the way to the AFCON final

The Atlas Lions overcame Cameroon 2-0 at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in their quarter-final clash on Friday night with goals from Brahim Diaz (26') and Saibari (74').

Speaking after netting his first goal of the competition, the upbeat PSV midfielder explained that he wants to go all the way for the country's fans.

He told CAFOnline: "We have now reached the semi-finals, and our aim is to go all the way to the final.

"Our fans supported us massively and never doubted us. We will now rest and then start preparing while correcting the mistakes we made earlier."

Morocco will play Nigeria in the semi-finals after the Super Eagles overcame Algeria 2-0 in their last eight clash.

"We work very well as a group in the Moroccan national team and know each other well. We are fighting together to win the title," Saibari added.
