Senegal and Malawi played out a tame 0-0 draw in a Group B match at the 2021 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
Coming into the match, Senegal needed either a draw or a win to qualify for the last 16 of the competition in the encounter hosted by the Kouekong Stadium in Bafoussam. Malawi was in a less comfortable position, requiring a win to qualify outright, though a draw would put them in the lot of the best teams to finish in third place.
