Having lost on the first day, Mali and Cape Verde faced off this Sunday for the second day of Group D. After a hard-fought match, the Eagles women won (3-2) and are back in the running for the quarter-finals.
Oumou Koné gave Mali the lead by opening the scoring in the 28th minute. But Cape Verde responded quickly. Ten minutes later, Eveline Varela leveled the score at 1-1, the score at halftime.
After returning from the locker room, Mali regained the lead thanks to Fatoumata Niakhate, who scored a superb strike in the 55th minute. Despite Cape Verde's dominance in the final half-hour, the Malian women proved clinical.
In the 79th minute, Fatoumata Diarra, well served by Orokia Sissoko, scored Mali's third goal and allowed her team to take an important lead (3-1).
Cape Verde reduced the gap in the 88th minute through Alivia Kelly, but the Malians held on until the final whistle to win (3-2).
With this victory, Mali now has three points and occupies third place in Group D. The Eagles women will play a true "final" against Ghana, second with also three points, to try to secure the second qualifying place for the quarter-finals.
