End of quarter final games

With these couple of games tonight concludes the first knockout stage. After (some) surprise results from yesterday, this evening the underdogs looks to repeat the same.

- Democratic Republic of Congo - Ghana. Dreadful in their play and barely winning, Ghana awaits its second tough opponent (after Egypt) in this event. Despite plenty of stars Ghana's form is extremely low and are agonizing scoring (any) goals. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) proved to be a serious rival and what they showed so far from the group stage is promising to go even further in the championship. If Ghana do not want to play as it should then DRC would gladly take the match and it would be considered one of the title contenders, who is lurking from the shadows.
- Egypt - Morocco. This is maybe most uncertain and most interesting game of the quarterfinals, because both teams aim for a win. In the group stage Morocco beat the weakened title defender Ivory Coast, and that (probably) proves how strong the team is. On the other hand Egypt did not concede a goal which means that (probably) they have strong defence. On top of that both sided had two victories at their groups. Most of the previous meetings the difference is only one goal, so both are playing with extreme caution. Everything points out that this game will go into extra time and probably penalties, but no one want to risk that. If we have to pick a winner we give a slight advantage to Egypt in normal time.
