Afcon 2019: ‘We don't want to stop in quarter-final’ – Benin’s Olivier Verdon

Benin defender Olivier Verdon has insisted his side are looking to go further than the quarter-final stage of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Michel Dussuyer’s men reached the last eight of the tournament for the first time in their history after defeating North African powerhouse Morocco in the Round of 16.

The Squirrels will face the Teranga Lions for a chance to reach the semi-final of the continental tournament and the Deportivo Alaves player is hoping his side can claim yet another famous victory over Aliou Cisse’s men.
