Senegal v Mali: Neighbours clash with semi-final place on the line
A fiercely contested West African derby awaits in Tangier on Friday as Senegal and Malilock horns in the quarter-finals of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Morocco 2025, with a coveted semi-final berth at stake.
It is a meeting rich in history, respect and rivalry, bringing together two neighbours who know each other intimately and whose encounters are often defined by fine margins.
While Senegal arrive with the momentum of recent champions and one of the tournament’s most consistent records, Mali step into Tangier buoyed by resilience, belief and a reputation for thriving under pressure.
Senegal have grown steadily stronger as the tournament has progressed. Unbeaten in their last 15 AFCON matches, the Lions of Teranga have combined attacking efficiency with mental resilience, most recently coming from behind to defeat Sudan in the Round of 16 — a rare but significant show of character in knockout football.
AFCON update: Sarr, Bissouma to face off in quarter finals
The Africa Cup of Nations is in full swing, and Spurs are representing!
And the idea of a tournament in the middle of the season just seems silly to me – take that 2022 World Cup! But the Africa Cup of Nations is one of those international fixtures that actually means something, so I’ll deal with it. Tottenham Hotspur actually have two representatives at the tournament in the form of Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma, representing Senegal and Mali, respectively – with Mohammed Kudus’ Ghana failing to qualify.
Both have seen success at the tournament thus far, with both Mali and Senegal qualifying for the latter stages of the competition, albeit in very different circumstances. Senegal, one of the favorites for the trophy, cruised comfortably through the group stages, with a draw against Democratic Republic of the Congo the sole blemish on their record as they kept clean sheets in wins against both Benin and Botswana. They then eased past Sudan in the Round of 16 with a 3-1 win after an early scare when Sudan opened the scoring. Unfortunately for Sarr (but fortunately for Spurs) Sarr’s involvement in these matches thus far has been limited, making only a solitary appearance as he started and played 81 minutes in the 3-1 win over Benin.
