Ghana vs Cameroon: the showdown for top spot

Mali vs Cape Verde: do-or-die duel
The showdown is scheduled for 20:00 GMT at Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca. There is no room for error—both Mali and Cape Verde suffered opening day defeats and must win to keep their hopes alive.
These two sides know each other well. In the qualifiers, Mali claimed a 1-0 win in Praia, but Cape Verde pulled off a stunning comeback in Bamako, winning 4-2 to qualify 4-3 on aggregate. Seven goals in total and a wild, dramatic scenario.
