Summary Mali and Ghana beat their opponents to enter the semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations.
Mali again showed its resilience to knock the host team out of the African Cup of Nations in a penalty shootout for the second straight year and join Ghana in the semifinals.
The Malians came from 1-0 down to oust South Africa in their quarterfinal after a shootout on Saturday, repeating the come-from-behind victory from last year when they surged past co-host Gabon to make the last four.
Inspirational captain Seydou Keita equalized after Tokelo Rantie gave South Africa the lead in Durban, leaving goalkeeper Soumaila Diakite to save two penalties and watch another one go flying past his left post to see the Malians through.
Ghana was the first team to make the semis when Wakaso Mubarak came off the bench to score twice and end Cape Verde s tournament.
