El Bilal Toure scored the winning spot-kick as 10-man Mali beat Tunisia 3-2 on penalties on Saturday to reach the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals after their last-16 tie had finished 1-1 at the end of extra time, AFP reported.
It looked as if Tunisia had got the job done against a Mali side forced to play most of the game a man down when substitute Firas Chaouat headed the Carthage Eagles in front in the 88th minute.
Mali had defender Woyo Coulibaly sent off in the 26th minute at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca, but earned a reprieve when they were awarded a stoppage-time penalty, according to AFP.
