[AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS] The pairings in this weekend's quarterfinals at the Africa Cup of Nations are set: South Africa-Mali and Ghana-Cape Verde Islands Saturday and Burkina Faso-Togo and Ivory Coast-Nigeria Sunday. That leaves a record seven teams from West Africa in the quarterfinals to go along with host South Africa. Tunisia's exit on Wednesday meant that no team from North Africa made it to the final eight for the first time since 1992.

Tunisia looked set to go ahead in its decisive match against Togo, but Khaled Mouelhi hit the post from the penalty spot in the 78th minute. Togo's Sparrow Hawks held on for a 1-1 tie and went through on goal difference ahead of Tunisia.

Algeria had already been eliminated before its 2-2 tie with Ivory Coast, which won Group D, while Morocco was eliminated earlier in the week with three ties.

Bob Bradley's Egypt, winner of the tournament in 2006, 2008 and 2010 for a record seven titles, did not qualify for the finals.
