Mali - Mauritania 2:0

Scorers: 1:0 02 (01.33) Massadio Haidara

Additional information: although it is very nice weather (and hot) in Cameroon, Algeria (group E) will not prolong its stay, go straight back home to analyze the whole thing as they are prevented to defend its crown that was raised in summer 2019. Together with its group rivals Sierra leone plus Mauritania (group F) are going to cheer up and watch the rest of the competition from their own (warm, comfortable) home, so the African continent will crown the new king next month. Meanwhile Ivory coast, Equatorial Guinea (group E) and Mali, Gambia, Tunisia (group F) have all qualified for knockout phase one (which is starting this weekend).
