Argentina U17 and Mali U17 will cross swords in a feisty third-placed clash in theU17 FIFA World Cupclash.
Argentina U17 had a rollercoaster of a semi-final with Germany with the latter winning on penalties. Despite Augustin Roberto's hat-trick, La Albiceleste lost their nerves during penalties losing the game 4-3. But Argentina have multiple positives from the tournament including their deadly forward battery which would be in action against Mali for one last time in the tournament.
Mali has been a surprise package in the tournament reaching the semi-finals where they gave a tough fight to a strong French side. While the European side produced a comeback in the second-half to cancel Ibrahim Diarra's opener, Mali would want to finish this scintillating campaign on a high.
