a brutal war and humanitarian crisis<\/a>, were bold against Senegal.<\/p>\n\u201cI am sure the Sudanese people know that we came to this competition and proudly represented them,\u201d Sudan coach James Kwesi Appiah said.<\/p>\n
Senegal was a challenge too far, though.<\/p>\n
Man\u00e9 set up Gueye to score in the 29th. Gueye also got the second before the break, set up by Jackson. The 19-year-old Mbaye made his entrance as a substitute in the 74th and Man\u00e9 set up the youngster to wrap it up on a break three minutes later.<\/p>\n
Mali digs even deeper<\/p>\n
El Bilal Tour\u00e9 fired Mali into the quarterfinals with the winning penalty in a 3-2 shootout win over Tunisia after they finished 1-1 with extra time.<\/p>\n
Mali goalkeeper Djigui Diarra saved two penalties to make up for misses from Yves Bissouma and Dorgeles Nene, as the Eagles set up a showdown with Senegal in Tangier on Jan. 9.<\/p>\n
Tunisia was left to rue the miss from Ali Abdi and saves Diarra made to deny Elias Achouri and Mohamed Ben Romdhane. They failed to beat Mali despite having an extra player from the 26th minute, when Woyo Coulibaly was red-carded for a dangerous tackle on Hannibal Mejbri.<\/p>\n
It was one of many bad tackles. Referee Abongile Tom had already issued four yellow cards before the red.<\/p>\n
Coulibaly was the second Mali player sent off in two games after Amadou Haidara against Comoros.<\/p>\n
Even after the sending off, neither Mali nor Tunisia managed a shot on target in the first half.<\/p>\n
Fans needed to wait till the 88th before Elias Saad crossed for Firas Chaouat to head what most assumed was Tunisia\u2019s winner.<\/p>\n
But Tunisia defender Yassine Meriah conceded a penalty in stoppage time, and Lassine Sinayoko duly equalized from the spot to send the game to extra time. It was Mali\u2019s first shot on target.<\/p>\n
Sinayoko also scored in the shootout to draw the team level again after Mali captain Yves Bissouma started by blazing his penalty over.<\/p>\n
