TANGIER, Morocco: Iliman Ndiaye scored the only goal as Senegal booked a semifinal berth at the Africa Cup of Nations for the third time in the last four tournaments, beating 10-man Mali 1-0 in the last eight on Friday. Ndiaye netted after 27 minutes, taking advantage of a goalkeeping howler to put Senegal ahead in a tense derby against their west African neighbors. Mali were reduced to 10 men for the second half after captain Yves Bissouma was sent off for a second caution on the stroke of halftime.

Seven of the eight nations have won the tournament before while Mali take on the role of stubborn outsiders
