3 goals to 1! Mali qualified at the end of shots sessions on goal! The porter of Mali has released two penalties before the fourth shooting of South Africa is not framed.

Mali qualifies after playing 120 minutes (1-1) as last year when the Eagles we eliminated also Gabon the host country. South Africa took a good slap! Mali confronts in the semifinals Nigeria. The team has further in a complicated context given a great lesson of courage and hope.

This morning, I had ventured to make predictions, and I bet on a Malian and Ghanaian victory. This will be a great semifinal. However, I was a little disappointed by the output of Cape Verde. Not on the field, but after the match.

Coach Lucio Antunes, had moved words: “Today, we saw a good game, but unfortunately, the best team returns home and the tournament will lose its luster. This was our fourth game in the first three and there were no issues, and now there are questions for you to draw your own conclusions. They wanted Ghana to the semi-finals, or is it that they wanted 200 spectators to a semi-final between Cape Verde and Togo? “

It is not nice for Ghana, not nice for Togo. Yellow! It’s a shame, because what  Lucio and his players performed is already exceptional.

But let us rely this evening on this beautiful joy of Mali. See you tomorrow for the second day of the quarter. It also promises.
