DR Congo
Muteba Kidiaba: Wasn't put the to the test too much, but stepped up when he was needed. Apart from the goal, of course. 6/10
Cedric Mongongu: Got up and down the flanks well, crosses were lacking. Was exposed one or two times. 5/10
Kiritsho Kasusula: Was mostly solid in defence apart from the goal. Didn't give Samassa too much to work with after conceding. 6/10
Mpeko Issama: Partnered well with Kasasula, didn't do too much wrong apart from going missing for the goal. 6/10
Gabriel Zakuani: Got down the flank a few times, lacked a good final ball. Got exposed in defence. 5/10
Youssouf Mulumbu: Battled hard in the midfield, didn't give up an inch. Got forward well, kept the passing simple. 6/10
Cedric Makiadi: Fought hard in the middle of the park, stood firm under pressure. 6/10
Yves Ilunga: Was a bright spark throughout the match, got forward well and combined with Mbokani pretty well. 7/10
Alain Kaluyituka Dioko: Was solid in the midfield, did well to deputise for the injured Mputu. 6/10
Dieumerci Mbokani: Was mostly disappointing apart from scoring the penalty early on. 6/10
Lomana LuaLua: Was largely disappointing, he would feel that he could have done more before leaving the field. 5/10
Substitutes:
Tresor Mputu: Earned points for answering his nation's call even though he was injured. Didn't have too much impact though. 5/10
Deo Kanda: Was largely a passenger for the last 10 minutes. 5/10
Mulota Kabangu: Wasn't on the field long enough to have any impact.
Mali:
Mahamadou Samassa: Held up to the pressure well. Did well to deal with the aerial threat of Mbokani. Had no chance with the penalty. 6/10
Fousseni Diawara: Got up and down the park well, but will feel he could've done better in attack. 5/10
Adama Coulibaly : Had a good game, didn't waver too much in defence. Handled Mbokani well. 6/10
Molla Wague: Was solid in defence, marshalled the back-line well and will be pleased with his overall performance. 7/10
Adama Tamboura: Battled hard up and down the left-hand side. Was excellent leading up to the equalising goal. 7/10
Seydou Keita: Put in a Man of the Match performance. Won some key midfield battles and led his country to the next round. 8/10
Mohamed Sissoko: Was fighting hard in the middle of the park, but gave away too many fouls. Will be disappointed to be injured. 5/10
Samba Sow: Similar to Sissoko in that he played too hard in the midfield and gave away needless fouls. 5/10
Samba Diakite: Didn't do too much to excite or disappoint, would feel he could have done more. 5/10
Mamadou Samassa: Worked hard leading the line today, was perfectly placed to score the equaliser. 7/10
Modibo Maiga: Was a bright spark on the flanks today, created a few opportunities and could have scored himself. 7/10
Substitutes:
Kalilou Traore: Was forced on through the injury of Sissoko, kept the midfield ticking over in place of the stalwart. 6/10
Cheick Diabate: Didn't have too much of an impact when brought on. 5/10
Sigamary Diarra: Wasn't on the field long enough to have any impact.
