2017 AFRICA CUP - GROUP D - DAY 12 - Uganda vs Mali 1:1
Africa Cup 2017
Group D
Day 12
24th match
Uganda vs Mali 1:1
...
Mali were knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations as they drew with Uganda in their final Group D game.
Alain Giresse's side needed to win to have a chance of making the last eight, but would have been eliminated anyway because of Egypt's victory over Ghana.
On a waterlogged pitch, they struggled to find a way past Uganda, who were already out following two defeats.
But after Farouk Miya smashed in Uganda's first Afcon goal since 1978, Yves Bissouma swerved in a free-kick.
Egypt's 1:0 win over Ghana means they qualify as group winners, with Ghana - who were already assured of a quarter-final place - going through as runners-up.
Ghana play DR Congo in the last eight, while Egypt go on to play Morocco.
