Mali vs Senegal: what do you need to know about the match?

Mali collected three points in the group stage after drawing all three of their matches. That proved enough to secure second place in the standings. In the round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations, they rescued the game in the 90+6th minute, forced extra time and then a penalty shootout. There, the Malians edged Tunisia 3–2 on penalties to book their place in the quarter-finals.

Senegal delivered an impressive group-stage campaign at the Africa Cup of Nations. They recorded emphatic 3–0 victories over Botswana and Benin and played out a draw with DR Congo. In the round of 16, the Senegalese conceded first but turned the match around, scoring three unanswered goals. At the previous tournament, Senegal were eliminated at the round-of-16 stage, but this time they have cleared that hurdle. This national team is considered one of the favourites to win the tournament.
