Senegal and Mali are facing each other in the quarter-final of the Africa Cup of Nations, and a bizarre moment occurred midway through the first half.

Details: In the 27th minute, Senegal took the lead, but the goal would not have happened without a mistake by Mali goalkeeper Djigui Diarra. He failed to secure the ball after a low cross from the right flank, even though it was heading straight into his hands. He could not deal with it, and striker Iliman Ndiaye capitalised to put Senegal in front.

By the way, a controversial incident occurred early in this match. Senegal centre-back Koulibaly went in with a sliding tackle and made contact with a Mali forward, but no penalty was awarded for the challenge.
