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.
