The Malians had not scored a goal for four games in their previous attempts. The anomaly was repaired in the first minutes of the game against Congo on Saturday in the first day of the AFCON 2023 qualifiers.
The Eagles took the lead in the first minute. Mohamed Camara managed to open the score (1st). This is the first goal for the national team of the RB Salzburg midfielder. El Bilaly Touré then doubled the lead on a pass from Yves Bissouma (20th).
This first period is a real ordeal for the Red Devils. They will concede two more goals. El Bilaly Touré scored twice (40th) and Kalifa Coulibaly scored the fourth (44th). 4-0 at halftime, the dice were already loaded for Congo who has not won an official match away from home since 2015. No goal will be scored after the break.
