Mali vs Ivory Coast 1:0


Mali will face Congo DR in the final.

They won the Thursday's semi-final against Ivory Coast 1:0.

Mali go into the final as the only team not to lose a game in the 16-team championship.

The Eagles have played with a gritty determination, and upset favourites Tunisia in the quarter-finals, and then the African champions Ivory Coast in the semi-finals.

But Mali will be without inspirational midfielder Sekou Diarra, who is suspended for the match.
