Hosts Ghana beat Morocco 2-0 to reach the African Nations Cup quarter-finals on Monday and the tournament claimed its first coaching victim with Henryk Kasperczak quitting Senegal.
Guinea also went into the last eight, following Ghana through from Group A despite managing only a 1-1 draw against rank outsiders Namibia. Midfielder Michael Essien scored a goal and set up another as Ghana finished their group with maximum points from three games.
Ghana, who will stay in Accra for their quarterfinal on Sunday, will face the Group B runners-up - most likely Mali although it could be arch-rivals Nigeria. In front of a packed crowd in Accra, Sulley Muntari set up Essien for the opening goal in the 26th minute with a quickly taken free kick that found the midfielder in enough space to score from close range.
