00:00As we are underway, it is Marley and White who get proceedings started up against the Zambia side in orange and black.
00:15As we are underway, it is Marley and White who get proceedings started up against the Zambia side in orange and black.
00:23Turned wide of the defender, cutback is on, space is there, is the finish to come.
00:28Marley seeking, searching out wide and trying to take a little too many touches, I suspect.
00:33It has just gone back beyond Mwanza and out of play.
00:44Needed a better touch, great first touch, shot powerful, Mwanza snuffles it.
00:50So far, seems to be standing fine despite a nervous moment or two in the earlier minutes.
00:58Thrashing effort from Nassin Sineyoko.
01:03Return ball, Sineyoko, cutback space, Marley have a chance.
01:07Scrambling defensive effort here and eventually a tame, tame effort that is picked up kindly by Mwanza.
01:13Now, we are going to go to the school's tournament where he impressed and where he played as a midfielder as well.
01:20His career has risen sharply since then.
01:26So we are going to check.
01:27It looked to be innocuous at first, but the initial replay suggested that Banda had taken out quite a lot of Nene d'Angeles.
01:38Our next criteria is a penalty.
01:46Referee Artan to the monitor.
01:51The video assistant referee will help determine whether or not this is indeed a penalty.
01:54The video assistant referee will help determine whether or not this is indeed a penalty.
01:56Hey, coach, hey, coach, coach, coach, no.
02:26Opanda to run onto the ball.
02:42He's taken out the Achilles of his opponent, and referee Artan is marching his way back
02:48to the pitch where he will make a decision, and that decision with five minutes to halftime
02:52is a big one.
02:53Penalty.
02:56Back on his feet.
03:00And then, nevertheless, among those celebrating as Mali are awarded a spot kick.
03:07The second penalty awarded at this tournament, the first was not converted, as Morocco were
03:13handed an opportunity to score from 12 yards out against Comoros in the first match in
03:19Group A.
03:19And Sufjan Rahimi, unable to convert, as he had his effort saved by Yannick Pandor in
03:26the Comoros goal.
03:27Well, Aldorjilis, who can score goals aplenty, gets to celebrate.
03:33It'll be Elbilal Toure, who has the opportunity to fire his international goal tally into double
03:40figures.
03:40Nine goals for Toure, the 24-year-old.
03:44Elbilal Toure, who scored the winner against Zambia in September 2022, is denied from the penalty
03:53mark brilliantly by Yannick Pandor.
03:55Two penalties awarded, both saved in this tournament situation, says let's have a pause, but that
04:14is wonderfully saved, down into his left, and looking to emulate the goalkeeper coach of
04:21Zambia, the great Canadian winner, who himself not only was a great penalty saver, but is
04:32the one who shifts it wide with the final, will bring it under control, as the whistle
04:36for half-time sounds.
04:38No goals in the opening half, but a very tactical affair here in Casablanca, as Mali and Zambia
04:44do battle at the start, Mohamed Sankh.
04:50So a very dangerous player, and he combined so brilliantly with Lassine Sinayoko.
04:55Long range, and straight at Mwanza, good footwork, looking to go through, brave-looking run from
05:04Flammech Bandai, but nicely controlled by Abdullah Diaby.
05:08Now Mali , how much longer could we see substitutions?
05:20This match is... I don't want to say it got a bit stale, but the ideas are not quite
05:28evident as they were earlier in the the tactical affair that we're witnessing
05:32here in Casablanca
05:42could be clear on goal here scooped away second chance and finally buried the
05:48danger man does it in a local strikes again twice a goal scorer and AFCON
05:522023 he's the first on the score sheet for Mali in 2025 just beyond the hour mark a loose ball
06:01not converted first time around but aptly delivered by Sineyoko at the second time of asking
06:07two players for Mali looked like they might score today Sineyoko was among them now

06:58with Dorjeles they're sometimes swap wings Dorjeles goes Mwanta
07:11well hit
07:14Dorjeles sneaking
07:16the Sambian side
07:22whipped in again a loose ball shot taken and brilliantly
07:25brilliantly plucked out of the air by Jiggy Jara
07:30that was a wonderfully acrobatic effort from Dominic Chanda that
07:33might very well have been celebrated and celebrated wildly
07:38how good was that save
07:40Jiggy Jara plucks that out of the air to deny Dominic Chanda who
07:47is not unfamiliar to scoring a couple of international goals already to his credit
07:57Mali defensively diagonal ball asking Jara to chase keeps it in play nicely Sinayoko now
08:03one-on-one with the defender creates space creates the shot and nearly creates the second goal no
08:09surprise though that he was able to capitalize earlier in the game
08:14after Zambia had switched off
08:19after giving away a relatively cheap corner
08:26Sinayoko
08:28might be picked up by Dako who looks to bring it under control Zambia still alive on the edge of that area
08:33the little chip into the danger area to come the header toward the back post and it clips the side netting
