00:09I'm here in Rabat for the last day of AFCON's Grand F-16
00:13and this is the city's fan zone.
00:15The first match of the day is set and the fans are ready
00:18as Algeria takes on DR Congo.
00:22But first, let me take you around one of Rabat's most recognizable landmarks.
00:27Rising above the city since the 12th century,
00:32Hassan Tower was meant to anchor one of the grandest mosques of its time
00:36and even though construction was never finished,
00:38its towering minaret and surrounding columns
00:40still stand as a powerful reminder of Rabat's Al-Muahad past.
00:47Now part of a UNESCO-listed historic city,
00:51it stands at the crossroads of heritage and modern life in Morocco's capital.
00:57At 44 meters tall, the tower still dominates the skyline.
01:01It's columns and walls, a striking sight for anyone exploring Rabat.
01:08But today, Rabat isn't just about history.
01:11The city is alive with AFCON action as the round of 16 continued.
01:15In the Prince Mawlai Hassan Stadium, Algeria and DR Congo were locked in a tight contest.
01:23Deep into extra time, substitute Adul Bulbina produced a stunning strike in the 119th minute,
01:30sending Algeria through with a 1-0 win.
01:33One, two, three!
01:34Deep into the city!
01:35One, two, three!
01:37Deep into the city!
01:38We are so happy for the Algerian team.
01:40I think we are going to win the Cannes,
01:42and we are so proud, so proud, so proud of the team.
01:45We are very, very happy.
01:46It was a very tough game.
01:47I mean, we were very stressed, we were very nervous because of the game.
01:50It took like 120 minutes for us to win.
01:52Thanks so much to Bulbina.
01:55You did a great job, and Nigeria, you're the next!
01:59With Algeria winning this crucial clash, attention now turns to the final match of the round of 16.
02:05It's happening in Marrakesh, and it's Cout de Voir against Burkina Faso.
02:12Cout de Voir dominated from the start, taking the lead through Ahmed Diallo,
02:17before Yann Diomande doubled their advantage.
02:20Burkina Faso never recovered, and Bazoumana Touri's late finish completed a 3-0 victory.
02:27With the round of 16 complete, the quarter-final lineup is set.
02:32On January 9, Mali faces Senegal, followed by five-time champions Cameroon against the host Morocco.
02:39January 10 brings Algeria versus Nigeria, before seven-time champions Egypt beat Olders Cout de Voir.
02:47A quarter-final stage packed with heavyweight clashes.
