Mali will play Senegal in Sunday's final of the Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Niger, in a repeat of the opening Group B encounter.

Mali needed penalties to beat Nigeria after a 1-1 draw to book their place in the final, while Senegal beat South Africa 1-0 in the other semi-final.

Senegal's coach Youssouph Dabo says the final will not be a repeat of the group encounter which his side won 2-0.

"Facing Mali be a different match because it is a final," he insisted.

"We beat them in the first game but I said it after that game that they can go far, so I am not surprised to see them in the final," he added.
