Mali ended Moroccos record winning run by holding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations hosts to a 1-1 draw in a Group A match played at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Friday night.
The result, which was secured by VAR-awarded penalties for Brahim Diaz and Lassine Sinayoko, prevented the Atlas Lions from guaranteeing a last 16 berth with a game to spare and ended a 19-game winning streak, though they remain very well placed to advance topping the group with four points.
The Eagles, meanwhile, are level with Zambia on two points, with Comoros in last place on one point.
