Morocco missed the chance to guarantee their spot in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) after Lassine Sinayoko’s second-half penalty earned Mali a 1-1 draw with the hosts on Dec 26.

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

The stalemate at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in the capital Rabat meant Morocco have yet to confirm their place in the knockout phase, although they are on top of Group A with four points from two matches.

Mali are behind them in second place on two points alongside Zambia, who drew 0-0 with minnows Comoros earlier in Casablanca.

Morocco next face Zambia on Dec 29 and a win against the 2012 champions will ensure that the hosts go through as group winners.
