Mali vs Burkina Faso LIVE!

Two teams looking to stake their claim to go deep into the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations met in the last-16 today as Mali take on Burkina Faso. A quarter-final meeting and hosts Ivory Coast awaits the Eagles after they claimed a 2-1 win.

On five occasions have Mali managed to reach the final four but they are one of the larger nations to have never won an AFCON tournament, but there is plenty of talent in Eric Chelle's squad to suggest they can end their wait for a crown after topping a difficult Group E and winning this last-16 tie in Korhogo.

Burkina Faso finished fourth two years ago but have been sent home early here. An Edmond Tapsoba own goal put them behind early on before Lassine Sinayoko scored after the restart. Bertrand Traore's penalty halved the deficit but Mali reached the last eight.
