Handball: Algeria beat Morocco in semi-final

Only one point was enough for Algeria to beat Morocco and bar them from reaching the final of the African championships for the first time in their history.

The Algerians won the game in 19-18 in a match played in an overcrowded stadium.

Algeria will try to win their 7th title Sunday against a strong Tunisian side that made it to the final after an unexpected win over over-confident Egyptians 25-19.

Morocco and Egypt will play the third rank match Sunday.

Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt will represent Africa in the coming World Cup, due in 2003 in Portugal.
