AFCON 2015 – Mali Starting XI Confirmed Ahead of Crucial Clash with Côte d’Ivoire
After holding Cameroon to a 1-1 draw in their Group D opener at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, the Eagles of Mali will look to confirm their strong start when they face Côte d’Ivoire this Saturday.
Coach Henry Kasperczak has maintained faith in his attacking line, particularly in Sambou Yatabaré, the scorer against Cameroon, who will once again start — this time alongside his brother Mustapha Yatabaré.
🦅 Mali Starting XI vs Côte d’Ivoire:
-
Goalkeeper: Soumaila Diakité
-
Defenders: Drissa Diakité, Adama Tamboura, Salif Coulibaly, Molla Wagué
-
Midfielders: Yacouba Sylla, Mamoutou N’Diaye, Seydou Keita (captain)
-
Attackers: Bakary Sako, Sambou Yatabaré, Mustapha Yatabaré
A positive result against the Elephants would put Mali in a strong position to qualify for the quarter-finals. All eyes will be on Seydou Keita’s leadership and the Yatabaré brothers’ effectiveness up front.
