Ghana held on for the point, while Mali were eliminated on goal difference after both teams finished on four points. Cameroon topped Group D with seven points after drawing 1-1 with Cape Verde. Ghana will now face Malawi in the quarter-finals, with a place at the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup also at stake.

A draw gets Ghana through, but relying on holding out after conceding may not be enough against Malawi in the quarter-finals.
