Senegal edges 10-man Mali to book Africa Cup semifinal

RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Iliman Ndiaye’s first-half strike was enough for Senegal to beat 10-man Mali 1-0 in their Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal on Friday.

Ndiaye poked the ball home from close range in the 27th minute after Mali ‘keeper Djigui Diarra let Krépin Diatta’s cross slip through his fingers to land at Ndiaye’s feet.
