Percy Tau Misses Penalty as Mali Beat Bafana Bafana in Group E Clash

Mali claimed a decisive win against South Africa in their Africa Cup of Nations opener, with goals from Hamari Traore and Lassine Sinayoko.

Traore capitalized on a rebound from Sekou Koita’s free-kick, while Sinayoko sealed the victory. The result places Mali at the top of Group E, maintaining a perfect record against South Africa in AFCON encounters.
