Match Recap

Mali needed just one moment to keep their perfect start alive, and Ange Martial Tia provided it in the 79th minute, breaking a stubborn deadlock away from home. His strike sent Mali to a 1-0 win over Liberia in Africa Cup of Nations qualification, stretching their record to two wins from two and lifting them to second in the group with six points. Liberia, by contrast, remain without a single point after two games, their qualifying campaign opening with back-to-back defeats. Tia's goal was his second of the campaign, enough to keep him inside the group's top ten scorers, still trailing E. Colley's league-leading tally of three. It wasn't a rout, just one well-timed strike that Liberia never recovered from. Rewind to the 79th minute and watch Tia ghost into space to keep Mali's perfect record alive.
