Egypt have moved from group stage control to knockout stage jeopardy, with a loaded bracket involving the two previous AFCON champions.
Following the competitions group stage conclusion and the announcement of all Round of 16 fixtures , the draw put the Pharaohs on a collision course with reigning champions Cote d'Ivoire, and, potentially, Senegal, before the tournament reaches its decisive weekend.
Egypt topped Group B with seven points , following wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa and a closing 0-0 draw with Angola.
