Mali beat Tunisia for CHAN semis slot

Mali came from goal down to beat Tunisia 2-1 in the quarter-finals  to advance to the semi-finals of the ongoing African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Rwanda.

Mohamed Ali Moncer gave Tunisia the lead in the first-half but a second-half penalty from Aliou Dieng and a goal with 10 minutes left to play from Abdoulaye Diarra sealed the win for Mali.

The victory sets Mali up for the semi-final against neighbours Cote d’Ivoire on Thursday.

Cote d’Ivoire themselves had to wait till extra time to  beat Cameroun

3-0 in their quarter-final encounter, while the Democratic Republic of Congo also dashed the hope of hosts, Rwanda, when they relied on extra time goals to win 2-1.
