Wild finish! Zambia snatches a draw in stoppage time against Mali

The Malians failed to hold onto their narrow lead.

Details: Today, in the opening round of Group A at AFCON, Mali and Zambia faced off in a clash where the Zambians pulled off a stunning comeback in the dying minutes.

Despite numerous chances in front of Zambia’s goal and a awarded penalty, Mali’s attack couldn’t convert more than one goal—an advantage that Zambia canceled out in the 92nd minute.

Thanks to a pinpoint header from Patson Daka, Zambia managed to level the score and secure their first point on the table—defying their underdog status.

At the moment, Morocco leads Group A following yesterday’s victory over the Comoros Islands.
