Bisnis.comJAKARTA – Mali qualified for the round of 16 of the U017 World Cup after defeating Canada in the final Group B match held at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Thursday (16/11/2023) afternoon.

Mali beat Canada 5-1 thanks to goals scored by Ibrahim Diarra in the 14th minute, Mahamoud Barry in the 26th minute, Ibrahim Kanate in the 73rd minute, Hamidou Makalou in the 77th minute and Ousmane Thiero in the 91st minute. Meanwhile, Canada’s goal was scored by Richard Chukwu in the 45th minute of the first half.

Mali, who needed a victory to qualify for the round of 16 of the 2023 U-17 World Cup, immediately attacked the Canadian defense from the start of the match. A number of chances were created, but Mali was unable to surpass Canada’s goal.

Google. The Canadian goal guarded by Nathaniel Daniel Abraham finally broke. Starting with a stab from the right, Ibrahim Diara pierced Abraham’s goal in the 14th minute with his left foot after receiving a cool pass from Sekou Koné.

After this goal, Mali apparently did not relax its attacks against the Canadian defense. Soumaïla Coulibaly’s team continued to attack Canada. Meanwhile, in the Uzbekistan vs Spain match until the 20th minute, the Matador team was already leading 2-0.

Spain’s superiority over the team nicknamed the White Wolves made Mali even more comfortable as Group B runners-up.

Canada’s goal was broken again. It was now Mahamoud Barry’s turn to enter Abraham’s goal in the 26th minute. Starting from a corner, Barry scored a goal using his shoulder. The referee checked VAR, but the referee judged that the ball had hit Barry’s shoulder, not Barry’s arm.

Abraham worked very hard to resist the onslaught of the Malian players in the first half. Abraham managed to thwart a number of Malian players. Meanwhile, Canada failed to score a single chance against Mali.

At the end of the match, Canada came out to attack Mali. Canadian striker Kevaughn Tavernier, who had just entered, almost broke through the Malian goal in the 43rd minute, but his free shot could not penetrate the empty goal as it was blocked by a Malian defender.

Canada continues to attack Mali. Richard Chukwu finally got Canada to cut the lead to 1-2 after his shot from inside the box on a corner kick in the 45th minute couldn’t be blocked by the Mali goalkeeper .

The entry of Tavernier made the Canadian attack even more dangerous. On several occasions, the dreadlocked player’s blows troubled the Malian defense.

Until the end of the first half, Mali still led 2-1 over Canada. This result places Mali one foot away from the round of 16 of the U17 World Cup.

At the start of the second phase, Mali immediately took over in attack and did not give Canada the opportunity to develop like at the end of the first half.

Mali finally managed to score another goal to increase their lead to 3-1. Ibrahim Kanate scored a goal in the 73rd minute using a wild ball into the penalty area to give Mali a 3-1 lead.

Four minutes later, Mali scored their fourth goal in this match. Starting with a rapid attack, Hamidou Makalou managed to break through the Canadian goal guarded by Nathaniel Abraham.

Mali truly destroyed Canada by scoring their fifth goal of the match thanks to Ousmane Thiero’s kick in the 91st minute.

Until the end of the match, Mali remained 5-1 ahead of Canada while qualifying for the round of 16 of the 2023 U-17 World Cup, representing Group B as runners-up.
