Mali bounced back from two heavy defeats to secure a narrow 66-64 win over Morocco in the Africa Champions Cup Qualifiers on November 24th. In a low-scoring, defensive struggle, Mali found a way to grind out a vital victory to keep their faint qualification hopes alive. The game was characterized by physical play and poor shooting from both sides, with neither team able to establish a significant lead. The final minutes were tense, with the lead changing hands before Mali made a critical defensive stand on Morocco's last possession to preserve the two-point win. This resilient performance provided Mali with a much-needed morale boost and points in the standings, while dealing a severe blow to Morocco's own campaign.
