The Lions of Teranga remain unbeaten in the tournament after proving too good for Sudan in the round of 16.

Sadio Mane and co. survived an early scare to win 3-1 and move one step closer to a second AFCON triumph.

Mali may feel that fate is on their side after a dramatic victory over Tunisia in the last 16. Lassine Sinayoko converted a 96th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot and the Eagles would go on to win the game via a shootout.

Tom Saintfiet's side now look to spring an upset against their West African neighbours as they hunt their first AFCON semi-final since 2013.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Mali v Senegal on TV and online.
