In a match that anticipated the final, the semi-final between Morocco and Nigeria, held in Rabat, was only decided by penalties (0-0, 4-2 after penalties). On Wednesday night, the defender Zaidu (FC Porto) stayed on the bench. Despite the hosts' dominance, Nigeria held out for more than 120 minutes.

In the last penalty series, the Moroccan Igamane missed his attempt, while the Nigerians Chukwueze and Onyemaechi (former Boavista) saw their shots saved by the goalkeeper Bono.
