CAF Africa Cup of Nations
Mali 0 - 1 Senegal FT
Iliman Ndiaye netted his first goal at the Afcon 2025 finals to send 2021 champions Senegal into the last four [Reuters]
Iliman Ndiaye's first-half tap-in was enough for Senegal to beat 10-man Mali and book their place in the semi-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
The Everton forward was on hand to convert from five yards after Mali goalkeeper Djigui Diarra failed to gather Krepin Diatta's low ball in from the right.
Diarra tipped a shot from El Hadji Malick Diouf on to the bar in first-half injury time, just before Eagles captain and Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Senegal keeper Edouard Mendy denied Abdoulaye Diaby in the second half in Tangier before Diarra made saves from Sadio Mane and Pathe Ciss.
Ciss spurned another chance for the 2021 champions, shooting straight at Diarra after capitalising on a defensive error, and the Eagles keeper then diverted Lassine Camara's dipping volley on to the right-hand post in injury time.
Mali exit the tournament without winning a game after their repeated ill-discipline finally cost them, having had a man sent off for the third consecutive outing in Morocco.
The Eagles will be happy to see the back of referee Abongile Tom, who was also in charge of their last-16 match against Tunisia and showed Woyo Coulibaly a straight red card.
Senegal will discover their last-four opponents on Saturday when record seven-time champions Egypt face holders Ivory Coast (19:00 GMT).
More to follow.
