Here's how it's going for Amadou Haidara with Mali

Mali – South Africa | 2-0

Doudou made the perfect start to the tournament with Mali. Driven on by our midfielder, Mali took control of the game from the outset and created numerous chances.

Nevertheless, the goals only arrived in the second half: Whilst Doudou failed to convert from around ten yards out (49’), his teammates scored a quick-fire double shortly afterwards. First, Traoré stabbed home after Doumbia had hit the bar with a free-kick (60’), before Sinayoko doubled his side’s advantage with the outside of his foot following a mistake from South Africa in their build-up play (66’).

Doudou was given the Man of the Match award for a strong performance.
Tunisia – Mali | 1-1

After a 1-1 draw against Tunisia, Mali have managed to take four points from their first two group stage matches.

Doudou was once again in the starting line-up and was later taken off with a knock in the 70th minute, having helped set up the opening goal for his country.

Haidara picked out Doumbia with a pass, who then laid it off to Sinayoko, who went on to open the scoring (10'). Tunisia were able to equalise just 10 minutes later, as Hamza Rafia slotted home in what was an intense first half.

Mali enjoyed the better chances after the break, but were unable to make them count in order to take all three points.
Namibia – Mali | 0-0

Mali delivered another strong defensive performance in their final group stage game, with goalkeeper Djigui Diarra keeping his second clean sheet of the tournament.

With the result, Mali maintained their unbeaten record in the group stage and are through to the round of 16 as the group winners.
