Mali has taken control of Group E at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament after a deserved 2-0 victory against South Africa on Tuesday night.
The Eagles opened their campaign at the ongoing AFCON in Ivory Coast today with a tough clash against the Bafana Bafana.
In a game played at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium, Mali had a difficult start but managed to recover to cause all sorts of trouble for the opponent.
South Africa could have led at halftime but a penalty awarded to the side was wasted by star man Percy Tau.
In the second half, the thrilling contest that ensued between the two national teams resulted in two goals.
Unfortunately, for Bafana Bafana, they were all scored by the Malians.
Goals from Hamari Traoré and Lassine Sinayoko in the 60th and 66th minutes respectively propelled the Eagles to a 2-0 win at full-time to bag all three points.
In the next round of games, Mali will face off with Tunisia while South Africa plays Namibia.
