LOOK AT THEM!
Mali's Lassine Sinayoko is proving to be a consistent threat in this tournament, with Tuesday's winning goal being his third goal in four AFCON games. Ivory Coast's Franck Kessié will probably be full of confidence after scoring the late penalty to equalize against Senegal and then the decisive spot-kick in the penalty shoot-out.
in the semifinal
This Saturday will see Mali and Côte d'Ivoire go head-to-head in the semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations.
The winner of this Saturday's match will face the winner of the duel between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Guinea in the next round.
History between Mali and Ivory Coast
Côte d'Ivoire have the advantage in the head-to-head against Mali. The last time they met was in 2023, in an international friendly, where the result was a 0-0 draw.
Mali's team has reached this stage of the event without any significant players, but they're a tough team to play against and will give them a hard time.
The teams have met twice before, with Côte d'Ivoire winning one and drawing one.
Mali campaing
In Mali's debut at the Africa Cup of Nations, the team faced South Africa and had little trouble securing the 3 points. Right-back Hamari Traoré and striker Lassine Sinayoko scored Mali's winning goals. In the second round, Mali drew 1-1 with Tunisia, Lassine Sinayoko scoring the only Malian goal. On the third and final matchday of the group stage, Mali drew goalless with Namibia.
In their most recent match, in the round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations, Mali beat Burkina Faso 2-1, with Lassine Sinayoko and Edmond Tapsoba scoring the goals that ensured Mali's qualification for the quarter-finals after an 11-year hiatus.
Ivory Coast campaing
In their opening match of the competition, Côte d'Ivoire delighted their fans by beating Guinea-Bissau 2-0. Seko Fofana, Cristiano Ronaldo's teammate at Al-Nassr, and Krasso were responsible for the home side's two goals. In the second round, Côte d'Ivoire lost 1-0 to Nigeria. On the third and final matchday of the group stage, Côte d'Ivoire were thrashed 4-0 by Equatorial Guinea. Despite a patchy campaign, the team secured a place in the last 16 of the competition. However, the Ivorian Football Federation (FMF) decided to sack French coach Jean-Louis Gasset "due to insufficient results".
In the last 16 of the continental competition, Côte d'Ivoire, even without the support of an effective coach, managed to qualify for the quarter-finals by beating Senegal 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
Jean-Philippe Krasso
The 26-year-old Ivorian striker has stood out as a crucial indicator of the Elephants' good momentum. During the World Cup Qualifiers, Krasso contributed a goal and an assist, and on his debut at the African Cup of Nations, he scored a beautiful goal to close out the scoring. Recently joined from Red Star, he has seven goals and three assists in 20 Serbian league appearances. Last season, with Saint-Étienne, he recorded 17 goals and 12 assists in 35 games played, almost one goal a game.
Lassine Sinayoko
The 24-year-old striker from Auxerre, in France's second division, is a key player and the leading scorer for the Malian national team. This season, Lassine Sinayoko has made 28 appearances for club and country, scoring 9 goals and providing 2 assists. In the current edition of the African Cup of Nations, Sinayoko has scored 3 goals in 4 matches, so he represents the main goal-scoring hope for his nation.
