Namibia Into The Round Of 16 For The First Time Ever!

Namibia qualified for the knockout phase of the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time, as they held Mali to a 0:0 draw in their last group game on Wednesday.

Namibia qualified as one of the four best third-placed finishers after they ended their Group E campaign with four points. Mali won the group with five points and South Africa were second also with four, finishing above Namibia after beating them 4-0 on Sunday.

On the other hand, Tunisia were eliminated after they drew 0-0 with South Africa in the other Group E game.

Group winners Mali advance to a last-16 meeting with Burkina Faso in Korhogo next Tuesday while Namibia will play neighbours Angola on Saturday.
