The Limbe Stadium played host to the opening Group F match of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations as Tunisia took on Mali.
The opener looked to be a tale of penalties,as both side were awarded a kick from the spot.
First Kone converted his attempt after a handball from Ellyes Skhiri, blocking Boubakar Kouyaté’s shot, which looked to be heading wide,this give Mali the lead,after having dominated a first half that failed to see a single shot on target from either side.
Mali’s lead looked to be leveled when Tunisia’s Wahbi Khazri was given the opportunity to score from a penalty of his own.
But Khazri’s effort was saved by Mali goalkeeper Ibrahima Mounkoro 13 minutes from time to deny Tunisia an equalizer and Mali takes all 3 points in their opener.
