But all eyes will be on Day 2 of the quarter finals on Thursday, when the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon will trade tackles with eternal rivals, Nigeria in the first game of the evening at Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca, while South Africa lock horns with Tunisia in the second game slated for Stade Moulay Hassan, Rabat.
