00:09with three exciting group stage matches.
00:12After Morocco opened the tournament
00:14with a 2-0 win over Comoros,
00:16Group A continued at Mohamed V Stadium
00:19in Casablanca,
00:20where Mali faced Zambia
00:22in the first picture of the day.
00:25Mali had a first-half penalty saved
00:28before finally breaking the deadlock
00:30just after the hour mark
00:32through Lassine Sinajoko.
00:34Zambia rescued a late point in stoppage time
00:37as Pats and Dhaka headed home
00:39to secure a 1-1 draw.
00:43I think it was a very good game
00:46because football is at all a pleasure.
00:49So both of the teams played very well.
00:51It was a big atmosphere.
00:53It was very cool.
00:54It was a big game from Mali.
00:55We support them.
00:56And it wasn't good.
00:59The game was quite tough for us
01:00in the first minutes.
01:02But we liked the spirit,
01:03how they fought after conceding.
01:05They didn't relent.
01:06They worked very hard.
01:07And you don't know how sweet
01:09that last-minute goal is.
01:11Supporting Mali, actually.
01:13But the game was interesting
01:14until the ending.
01:16It was excitement
01:18when my team was leading.
01:20And until the end,
01:21they got draw.
01:22But everything is OK.
01:24It was a draw and we are so excited.
01:27It was a great match.
01:28Both teams were strong today
01:30and it was good to see.
01:31And we'll be following Zambia
01:33all throughout the way in Morocco.
