Group F of CAN 2021 promises to be undecided until the end. After their success on the first day of the group stage, Mali and Gambia left back to back for their 2nd outing (1-1). A meeting which will still have been a matter of penalties and video assistance for the Eagles.
As during the match against Tunisia, they opened the scoring thanks to a penalty from Ibrahima Koné, after a foul on Yves Bissouma signaled by the VAR (79th). But the Malians will be taken back in the last moments after a hand from the same Bissouma, in his penalty area this time.
After resorting to the VAR once again for the referee of the match, Musa Barrow was not asked to transform the sentence (90th). With this result, the two teams remain at the top of the group with 4 points.
