Mali’s win over Malawi was definitely a tough-fought one! A compact Malawi side kept the first half goalless despite some solid chances, but Mali managed to break through early in the second half thanks to Bakary Sako’s finish, assisted by Adama Tamboura. The red card for Mali’s goalkeeper after the hour mark could have turned the game around, but the team held firm. Cheick Diabaté sealed the victory with a late goal in stoppage time, ensuring a 2-0 win.
Now, the Eagles will look to build on this momentum when they face Algeria in Blida on Wednesday. It’s going to be a challenging match, but this result should give Mali confidence going forward in the CAN qualifiers. Are you following the qualifiers closely?
