Mali head coach Saloum Mohamed Houssein says his side will not be the underdogs in their second group A game against the host, Ghana following their 1-2 defeat to Cameroon on Matchday 1.
Goals from Meffoumetou Tcheno and Nchout Njoya cancelled Aisatta Traore’s opener and eventually sealed a 1-2 victory to Cameroon over Mali on Saturday at the Accra Sports Stadium in the 2018 AWCON tournament.
However, the tactician is confident side will face the Black Queens squarely and that he expects at least a point from the showdown today.
