The Africa Cup of Nations Women clash finished 1-1, with Ghana scoring first and Mali replying after the break. Ghana’s goal came at 47:59 of the first half, and Mali equalized at 49:56 in the second period. Ghana earned 9 corners to Mali’s 5, while Ghana were flagged 4 times for offsides and Mali 0; fouls were 16 for Ghana and 11 for Mali, with Mali collecting 3 yellows to Ghana’s 0.

Ghana’s higher corner count signals stronger attacking intent and sustained pressure, especially in wide areas. The four offsides by Ghana indicate repeated runs in behind Mali’s backline, though timing prevented a decisive breakthrough. Mali’s three yellows suggest they engaged more aggressively in midfield and defensive duels, despite Ghana not receiving cautions.

Defensively, both teams conceded once, and there were no red cards. Mali’s three yellows reflect a physically assertive approach, while Ghana’s discipline avoided additional bookings. The corner disparity implies Ghana faced a higher set-piece workload, requiring solid organization from Mali’s rearguard.

Tactically, Ghana pressed with width and created repeated dead-ball situations, while Mali relied on compact lines and quick transitions to threaten on the break. The halftime equalizer shows Mali’s responsiveness to Ghana’s pressure and their ability to convert pressure into a goal quickly after the restart.
