(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Mali kicked off their 2020 African Nations Championship (CHAN) campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over a tough Burkina Faso side in Cameroon on Saturday.
The Eagles won the West African clash in Group A thanks to an amazing 70th minute header by enterprising left-back Siaka Bagayoko at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde.
The defender, who plays for local giants Djoliba but previously featured for CS Sfaxien in Tunisia, settled the tie via an extraordinary long-range header after the Stallions failed to clear a corner-kick.
The victory takes Mali equal on three points with hosts Cameroon who beat Zimbabwe by a similar margin in the opening match of the tournament earlier in the day.

Mali - Burkina Faso: A West-African CHAN derby
Mali faces their neighbors Burkina Faso on Saturday (16 Hanuary 2021) at the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium in Yaoundé for Group A Match Day 1 of the Total African Nations Championship (CHAN), 2020.
The Eagles of Mali are counting on their young elements to repeat the feat of 2016, when they reached the final of the tournament. For this year, the foals of Nohoum Diané with several matches in the legs, can count on a rich workforce, but also experience.
In their last appearance in the 2016 Total African Nations Championship, Mali had lost only one of their six matches (3 wins, 2 draws). It was in the final against DR Congo (0-3). A course that Mamadou Doumbia s teammates would like to redo, who prepared well with, in particular, the participation in the Niamey tournament.
Burkina Faso â The Stallions to break their jinx
To reach CHAN 2020 in Cameroon, the Stallions of Burkina Faso had to pass the hurdle of Ghana Black stars.
Against the same opponent they defeated to reach CHAN 2018 in Morocco, the Burkinabe managed to win the first leg in Ghana with a goal scored in the dying minutes via Yannick Pognongo. Burkina Faso retained the advantage, settling for a goalless draw in Ouagadougou.
Coach Seydou Zerbo âKrolâ began his sideâs preparation phase, before the COVID-19 pandemic caused the finals to be postponed. But in the meantime, the Stallions have been able to deliver friendly matches. A goalless draw with Benin was followed by 1-0 victory over the same side, and then Burkina Faso had another barren stalemate with Togo.
