​AFCON: Senegal finish top of group after draw with Malawi

Senegal finished top of their group at the African Cup of Nations after a 0-0 draw with Malawi.

The Senegalese had Premier League stars Sadio Mane and Edouard Mendy in their line-up.

Senegal were the better side for much of the contest, but Malawi did hold firm in defence throughout the 90 minutes.

Despite getting a creditable point, Malawi finished third in the group, losing their head-to-head against Guinea.

The latter goes through from the group in second place, with Senegal progressing as well.

Malawi can still progress if they end as one of the four best third-placed sides left in the tournament.
