have qualified for the semi-final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup in India after

Mali also pipped Ghana
1-0 in the final of the CAF U-17 Africa Cup of Nations earlier in the year.

the lead on Saturday in the 15th minute, while Djemoussa Traore doubled Mali’s
lead in the 61st minute.
The Black Starlets
pulled a goal back nine minutes later through Mohammed Kudus from the penalty
