The Brave Warriors are the first team
to bow out of the 2016 African Nations Champions, while Zimbabwe Chipolopolo
are through to the next stage of the championship
ZIMBABWE 0-1 MALI
Moussa Sissoko’s 82nd minute strike
ensured Mail pip Zimbabwe 1-0 at the Umuganda Stadium, Gisenyi on Saturday
evening.
Sissoko connected home from a Lassana
Samake free-kick eight minutes from time to ensure the maximum points for Les
Aigles as the Brave Warriors crash of the competition following their second
successive loss.
Zimbabwe paid the price for their
wastefulness in front of goal in a game they were clearly the better side.
The victory served a sweet revenge
for the Malians who suffered a 2-1 loss against the Zimbabweans at the quarters
two years ago.
UGANDA 0-1 ZAMBIA
Zambia are through to the next round
of the 2016 African Nations Championship after defeating Uganda 1-0 in Gisenyi.
Christopher Katongo’s 41st minute
header silenced the Cranes as Chipolopolo become the third team to qualify for
the quarter-finals, joining hosts Rwanda and DR Congo in the last eight.
The result put Zambia top of Group D
with a maximum six points from two games.
