El Bilal Toure scored the winning spot-kick as 10-man Mali beat Tunisia 3-2 on penalties on Saturday to reach the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals after their last-16 tie had finished 1-1 at the end of extra time.
Mali had defender Woyo Coulibaly sent off in the 26th minute at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca, but earned a reprieve when they were awarded a stoppage-time penalty.
Lassine Sinayoko converted from the spot to take the tie to extra time and eventually on to the decisive shoot-out.
