The clock is ticking in this match. Not much, if any, action has been generated by the Central African Republic in the match. The game is still largely dominated by Mali, but we remain goalless.
60'
We reached the first quarter of an hour in the second half. Now we are seeing some rhythm in the match with Mali's constant approaches to the opponent's goal. The first goal is close and the Central African Republic is not reacting yet.
57'
Cheick Konaté went on the attack and near the box tried to send in a cross, but the ball didn't take the curve and went straight for the goal, but the left post prevented him from celebrating.
54'
Mali tried again. This time it was Nene Dorgeles who took a shot from the left side of the box, the ball went low and goalkeeper Geoffrey Lembet appeared to make a calm catch and avert the danger.
52'
Mali came close again. After coming off a short corner kick, Abdoulaye Diaby headed in a cross from the right, but the ball went just wide of the post. The visitors had the better of the play.
50'
First minutes of the second half. Mali continue to have better attacking intentions than their opponents. However, they have not been clear enough to generate danger yet. The score remains 0-0 for now.

45+1' End of the first half
End of the first half! The referee decrees the end of the first half, after Mali had the clearest chance of the match with a cross from Lassana Coulibaly that was cleared by goalkeeper Geoffrey Lembet, and then on the rebound, Nene Dorgeles sent the ball over the goal. 0-0 and it's halftime.
45' Additional time
The first half of the match is coming to an end. We reach the 45th minute and the referee decides to add just one minute to the first half. There has not been much to note, except that Mali continues to get closer without much danger.
40'
We entered the last five minutes of the first half. Mali has had the ball most of the time, tried to circulate it, tried long deliveries, but not effectively resolved so far. The score is still 0-0.
35'
We entered the final stretch of the game in the first half. We still don't have many chances to score... It's a very complicated match, where the players are not knowing how to solve the few approaches they have.
30'
We reached the half hour mark in the match between Central African Republic and Mali. The scoring chances are still absent for now. The score remains 0-0 for the moment. Game without much excitement.
25'
The match continues to pass in total tranquility. There is not much to highlight so far in the match. It's a match that has no rhythm and no player who wants to get out of the script. 0-0 still.
20'
Mali came closer. Cheick Konaté appeared on the right flank to receive the ball after a good team play, he looked to shoot with his left foot, but goalkeeper Geoffrey Lembet flew to keep the ball. First action with some danger.
16'
We have passed the first quarter of an hour in the match. The Malian team holds the ball most of the time, but so far fails to generate danger in the goal defended by Geoffrey Lembet. Still 0-0.
🟨 12'
The first caution is booked in the match. Gabriel Oualengbe in Central African Republic is shown the yellow card by the referee for an infringement near the box by tripping him from behind. Mali are coming forward.
10'
The match is still tied for now at the Stade Larbi Zaouli. The teams have lacked ideas to generate important actions in attack. There has not been a shot that has made the goalkeepers work up to this point.
5'
First minutes of the match. There are not many important actions to highlight at the moment. Possession of the ball has been quite divided in the middle of the pitch. The score remains 0-0 for now.

Key player of Mali
Yves Bissouma is one of the most outstanding players of the Mali national team. The 28-year-old pivot has more than seven years of experience in the Premier League, he played for Brighton and since 2022 he plays for Tottenham Hotspur. This skillful pivot has a valuation of 28 million euros, according to Transfermarkt data, being one of the top references of his country.
Key player of Central African Republic
Louis Mafouta is one of the most outstanding players of the Central African Republic national team. The 30-year-old striker plays for Amiens SC in the French second division, and this season he has eight goals and four assists in 29 games played. It is expected that this striker can stand out and give a needed victory to his national team.
History between Central African Republic and Mali
The two teams have met only once in history; that match was in 2023 and the game was tied 1-1 and, like now, that match was played in the World Cup qualifiers. Central African Republic and Mali are expected to put on a different show, taking into account that both are in fifth and fourth place respectively in Group I.
Mali
The Mali team, on the other hand, is not doing well either. The visitors are only one position above their opponents, but they have been going from strength to strength. In their last five matches, they have two wins, two draws and one defeat. The Malian team will be hoping for good results in the last five games of the qualifiers, dreaming of making it to the World Cup.
Central African Republic
The situation does not look good for the Central African team. They have lost three, drawn one and won one game out of the last five played; at the moment, they are in the penultimate position in Group I, hoping for a miracle in the last five remaining games.
The match will be played at the Stade Larbi Zaouli
The Central African Republic vs Mali match will be played at the Stade Larbi Zaouli, located in the city of Casablanca, Morocco. This stadium, inaugurated in 1990, has a capacity for 18,600 spectators.
The match will be played in a neutral stadium, but will undoubtedly have an incredible atmosphere for this important game.
