Mali won (2-1) this Tuesday against Burkina Faso in the round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations. Finalists in 1972 and semi-finalists in 2012 and 2013, the Eagles could play a spoilsport role in the lower part of the table free of Egypt and Senegal.
Eric Chelle's men will not present themselves as expiatory victims this Saturday against Ivory Coast, the miraculous host country. Despite a final rush and several situations, the Burkinabés did not manage to equalize.
