Mali defeated Guinea to earn a place in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The Malians defeated Guinea 4-3 on penalties in the third-and-fourth-place match in the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco in 2023.

At the conclusion of the game's 90+5 minutes, no goals were scored. Mali's first penalty attempt was missed, giving Guinea the upper hand.

 Unfortunately for the Guineans, their happiness was short-lived as the Malians retaliated.

Two of Guinea's penalties were wasted; one struck the goal post, while the other was stopped by Lassine Diarra of Mali.




Mali seized the chance to convert their final penalty kick in order to win. Their victory has secured them a place in the Paris Games.
