AFCON 2015 QUALIFIERS – MALI SEEK REVENGE AND REDEMPTION AGAINST ALGERIA

It’s a do-or-die encounter in Bamako as Mali hosts Algeria this Wednesday for the final matchday of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. For the Eagles of Mali, this is not just a football match — it’s a shot at redemption and a last chance to clinch a qualification spot.

Crushed 1-0 by the Fennecs in the first leg in Blida, Mali now faces an Algerian side that has won all five of its qualifiers so far. But the stakes are higher than ever for Henry Kasperczak’s team, who were left reeling after disappointing results against Ethiopia and Malawi.

“It’s more than a match, it’s a matter of pride and a moment of truth,” said a source within the Malian camp.


🔁 Match Context

  • Mali needs a win to have a real chance of reaching Equatorial Guinea 2015.

  • A draw or defeat could see them eliminated, depending on results elsewhere.

  • Algeria has already qualified and could rest key players, but are targeting a clean sweep in the group.


🇲🇱 Mali Starting XI vs Algeria

  • Goalkeeper: Soumaila Diakité

  • Defenders: Salif Coulibaly, Idrissa Coulibaly, Adama Tamboura, Ousmane Coulibaly

  • Midfielders: Mamoutou N’Diaye, Sambou Yatabaré, Yacouba Sylla, Sigamari Diarra

  • Forwards: Mustapha Yatabaré, Abdoulaye Diaby


Group B Standings Before Final Match:

  1. Algeria – 15 pts (+9) ✅

  2. Mali – 6 pts (0)

  3. Malawi – 6 pts (-4)

  4. Ethiopia – 3 pts (-5)


Mali will hope to rise to the occasion in front of a passionate home crowd. A win could write a new chapter in Malian football history — a defeat could close the book on their AFCON 2015 hopes.
