AFCON 2025 Morocco forced to wait for AFCON knockout place after Mali draw

Sunday Tribune

December 28, 2025

MOROCCO missed the chance to guarantee their place in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations after Lassine Sinayoko’s second-half penalty earned Mali a 1-1 draw with the hosts on Friday.

The match was a tale of two spot-kicks, with Brahim Diaz giving Morocco the lead from a penalty deep in first-half injury time, and Sinayoko replying on 64 minutes.

The stalemate at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat ended Morocco’s world-record winning run, which had reached 19 matches following their 2-0 victory over Comoros in the tournament opener.

It also means Morocco have yet to confirm their place in the knockout phase, although they top Group A with four points from two games.

Mali sit on two points, alongside Zambia, who drew 0-0 with minnows Comoros earlier in Casablanca.

Morocco next face Zambia tomorrow, and a victory against the 2012 champions will ensure the hosts advance as group winners.
