Senegal continued their pursuit, scoring two disallowed goals in quick succession; however Gueye converted his second moments before the break. Les Lions de la Teranga continued to apply the pressure, earning their third and final breakthrough in the 77th minute as substitute Ibrahim Mbaye met Manè’s pass with precision.
Next up on the schedule was Mali versus Tunisia. The West African outfit survived most of the game with ten men following Woyo Coulibaly’s dismissal in the 26th minute. Sami Trabelsi’s side broke the deadlock in the dying embers of the game, only to be undone by a Lassine Sinayoko penalty conversion in one of the last kicks of regular time.
