Ghana secured their passage to the quarter-finals of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations by beating Tanzania 4-1.
Defending champions South Africa finished top of Group C after cruising to a 4-0 win over Mali.
The holders and the Malians were already assured of their spots in the knockout stages before kick-off in Oujda, but Banyana Banyana comprehensively outclassed the West Africans.
Ghana’s margin of victory, coupled with Mali’s heavy defeat, meant the Black Queens finish second in the table on goal difference and the Malians slipped to third.
South Africa will stay in Oujda and face Senegal, the third-placed finisher in Group A, in the last eight, while Ghana have a meeting with Algeria in Berkane.
Mali, meanwhile, face hosts Morocco in the capital Rabat.
Monday’s results saw Botswana eliminated, with the Mares only able to progress as one of two best-ranked third-placed sides if the Ghana-Tanzania game had ended as a draw.
