Despite the poor results at the beginning, the players have shown tenacity and determination, thus putting them in a good position to qualify for the semi-finals. Their recent victory against Senegal has raised expectations, and they are now considered strong contenders to win the tournament.
On the other hand, Mali has emerged as the most organized and cohesive team in this year’s AFCON. They have shown patience and played to their strengths, resulting in a well-rounded unit. Mali finished top of their group with a win over Burkina Faso in their most recent match.
