Mali and Senegal meet in Tangier on Friday to kick off the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations 2025.

The Lions of Teranga remain unbeaten in the tournament after proving too good for Sudan in the round of 16.

Sadio Mane and co. survived an early scare to win 3-1 and move one step closer to a second AFCON triumph.

Mali may feel that fate is on their side after a dramatic victory over Tunisia in the last 16. Lassine Sinayoko converted a 96th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot and the Eagles would go on to win the game via a shootout.

Tom Saintfiet's side now look to spring an upset against their West African neighbours as they hunt their first AFCON semi-final since 2013.
