The Atlas Lions shocked the African footballing contingent when they dispatched defending Champions Tunisia to qualify for the final 16 of the CHAN tournament.

Abdesamad El Mobarky scored the only goal in the two-legged affair to ensure they would participate for their second successive tournament on South African soil, after having featured in the 2013 African Cup of Nations.
