Mali came from behind to draw with Morocco in Group A of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Rabat, which leaves the host nation on the brink of a place in the knockout stage.
Brahim Diaz put Morocco ahead from the spot deep in first-half stoppage time after the ball struck the hand of Mali left-back Nathan Gassama.
But the Eagles got a spot-kick of their own just after the hour mark when Jawad El Yamiq scythed down Lassine Sinayoko, and the striker held his nerve amid the whistles to squeeze his effort under Yassine Bounou.
Morocco topped the group on four points, with Mali and Zambia on two points and Comoros at the bottom on one point after their 0-0 draw with the southern Africans earlier on Friday.
Group A concludes on Monday (19:00 GMT), with the hosts taking on Zambia in the capital and Mali returning to Casablanca to face Comoros.
