With South Sudan disqualified for age fraud by CAF, the only game of the first day of Group C of the U17 AFCON was the West African derby between Mali and Burkina Faso. It is the Malian selection, double African champion (2015 and 2017), that won (1-0). Mamadou Doumbia scored the only goal in the 25th minute.
For the 2nd day this Thursday, Cameroon will face Mali while Burkina Faso will be exempted.
