Egypt's handball national team defeated Monday Gabon in the quarter-final of the Africa Cup of Nations, currently held in Tunisia.

Egypt are set to clash against Angola in the last match of the quarter-final on Wednesday.

The pharaohs qualified for the last eight after pulling off a 28-19 victory over the Republic of Congo in the group stage matches.

The holder of this tournament will advance automatically to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, while the runner-up will play the international play-offs.

The first and second teams in the group will qualify for the semi-final.

Egypt were pooled in Group A, alongside Gabon, Angola and Dr Congo, while Group B includes Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Cape Verde.
