Morocco coach Henri Michel said the encounter against hosts Ghana will be a must-win game following the Atlas Lions' 3-2 defeat to Guinea in the African Cup of Nations.

"We have to battle to beat Ghana to go through," the French manager said after the game.

Morocco's hopes of reaching the quarter-finals were dented by Guinea, who were inspired by a superb display from skipper Pascal Feindouno.

The Saint Etienne man notched a brace but was sent-off for lashing out at an opponent in an off-ball incident.

"Pascal is a key player and we will have to find a solution," Guinea coach Robert Nouzaret said.

Morocco have an uphill to climb if they are to reach the quarter-finals as they face Ghana in the last group stage match, while Guinea have an easy task against outsiders Namibia.
