Malawi 0-0 Senegal LIVE! AFCON 2022 result, match stream and latest updates today

Malawi vs Senegal - LIVE!

The pre-tournament favourites will look to step up a level as Group B concludes at the Africa Cup of Nations this afternoon.

As Africa’s highest-ranked team and with a star-studded squad boasting the likes of Liverpool forward Sadio Mane, much was expected from the beaten 2019 finalists in Cameroon.

However, Aliou Cisse’s Lions of Teranga have yet to impress at this AFCON, with a last-gasp win over Zimbabwe followed by a tame goalless draw with Guinea.

While four points will surely already be enough to see them safely into the last-16, Senegal will want to ensure they win the group and drive some momentum before the knockout stages.

Guinea face Zimbabwe at the same time, so any further slip-ups will surely be punished.

Malawi are not out of the competition yet and could even top the group themselves if they beat Senegal and Guinea do not overcome Zimbabwe, though that seems a tall order.

The Flames are appearing at AFCON for only the third time and have never before been past the group stage, though confidence will be high after they followed a narrow defeat by Guinea with a win over Zimbabwe.
