Leicester City striker Patson Daka will be heading home early from the Africa Cup of Nations after his Zambia side suffered defeat against Morocco to finish bottom of Group A.
The Foxes forward, who scored a diving header in Zambia's opening game of the tournament, once again led the line for his nation, but was unable to get on the scoresheet as the Chipolopolo suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of hosts Morocco.
Atlas Lions striker Ayoub El Kaabi scored another overhead kick - his second of the competition - netting a brace to make him the joint top goalscorer so far. Real Madrid's Brahim Diaz was also on target to send Morocco through as Group A winners.
Comoros and Mali played out a goalless draw which saw Mali progress with three points from three draws: Leicester's Woyo Coulibaly didn't feature for Mali having started their first two games.
