Senegal will play a third-placed team in Bafoussam next Tuesday. Guinea, also in Bafoussam, will play Gambia, Mali or Tunisia. Malawi will ... let’s see.
Morocco play Gabon tonight and Ghana face Comoros as Group C winds up. But that’ll do from me for now. Thanks for reading, as ever, and take care!
Zimbabwe have beaten Guinea 2-1. It means little for them, but for a sluggish Senegal it means winning the group even if their only goal was a sketchy 97th minute penalty in the first game. Malawi, who are more proof that Africa’s supposed minnows can match the best, come third. It is a fairly good bet that the Flames will make it to the last 16, but they must wait a couple of days.
