00:00AFCON 2025 continues to build.
00:07Day 2 took place yesterday with three exciting group stage matches.
00:12After Morocco opened the tournament with a 2-0 win over Comoros,
00:16Group A continued at Mohamed V Stadium in Casablanca,
00:20where Mali faced Zambia in the first picture of the day.
00:23Mali had a first-half penalty saved before finally breaking the deadlock
00:30just after the hour mark through Lassine Sinayoko.
00:34Zambia rescued a late point in stoppage time
00:37as Patsundaka headed home to secure a 1-1 draw.
00:44I think it was a very good game because football is at all a pleasure.
00:49So both of the teams played very well.
00:51It was a big atmosphere. It was very cool.
00:54It was a big game from Mali. We support them.
00:57And it was incredible.
00:59The game was quite tough for us in the first minutes.
01:02But we liked the spirit, how they fought after conceding.
01:05They didn't relent. They worked very hard.
01:07And you don't know how sweet that last-minute goal is.
01:11Supporting Mali, actually.
01:13But the game was interesting until the ending.
01:16It was excitement when my team was leading.
01:20And until the end, then they got draw.
01:22So, but everything is okay.
01:24It was a draw.
01:26And we are so excited.
01:27It was a great match.
01:28Both teams were strong today.
01:30And it was good to see.
01:31And we'll be following Zambia all throughout the way in Morocco.
01:35Next up, Zambia faces Comoros in Casablanca, while Mali takes on Morocco in Rabat.
01:45I'm at Casablanca's official AFCON 2025 fan park, powered by Royal Air Morocco,
01:51where fans are starting to explore the activities and soak up the tournament atmosphere.
01:55Meanwhile, Group B got underway yesterday in Morocco, with South Africa facing Angola.
02:04South Africa took the lead through Oswin Apollos.
02:08Angola equalized before halftime.
02:10And Lyle Foster struck in the second half to secure a 2-1 win.
02:15With the same 2-1 scoreline, Egypt came from behind to beat Zimbabwe.
02:21Prince Dube opened the scoring.
02:23Omar Marmoush equalized.
02:26And Mohamed Salah struck in injury time to secure the win.
02:30That sets up a top-of-the-table clash in Agadir on Friday,
02:34with the Pharaohs facing Bafana Bafana.
02:37The sides have met three times in AFCON tournaments, with Egypt winning twice.
02:45Well, that brings the curtain down on day two of AFCON 2025.
02:50The opening rounds of the group stage are now underway,
02:52with plenty more football to come.
02:54Stay tuned.
