CAIRO, July 8 (Xinhua) -- Cote d'Ivoire advanced to the last eight of the African Cup of Nations after beating Mali 1-0 in the round of 16 in Egypt's Suez Stadium on Monday.
Wilfried Zaha scored the winner in the 76th minute, taking advantage of a defender's fatal mistake. Cote d'Ivoire will play against Algeria on July 11 at the stadium of Suez.
In the 11th minute of today's game, Moussa Marega on the right flank was all alone but, in the penalty area, he hesitated when he tried to find Samassekou Diadie and the defense emerged.
The Malians returned to the charge and it was Abdoulaye Diaby whose shot just missed the frame.
Then the Malians controled the game with offensives, but they were clumsy in the last move.
After trailing, the Malians played all out but failed to find the target. Enditem
