\u201cMali put up a good gameplay<\/strong> and great efforts to break through, but just did not have success in getting past the rock solid iron defence of goal keeper Andile Dlamini<\/strong>,” said Sportingbet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile South Africa\u2019s coach Desiree Ellis is gearing up her team for their clash against Senegal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
