Mali U17 will cross swords with Morocco U17 in the quarter-finals of the FIFA U17 World Cupwith both sides looking to book a semi-final berth.
Mali U17 produced a scintillating display in the Round of 16 thumping Mexico 5-0 as they marched into the quarter-finals of the competition. Mahamoud Barry bagged a brace in the first thirteen minutes of the encounter to help Mali set up an iconic victory.
Morocco, on the other hand, produced one of the most iconic comebacks to deflate Iran U17 in their Round of 16 clash. Nassim Azaouzi equalized the billing in the dying seconds of the second half to take the game to penalties where Morocco scored all four while Iran scored a single spot-kick ensuring that the Atlas Lions earned a place in the last eight of the competition.
