The Argentine National Team finished fourth in the Under 17 World Cup held in Indonesia. At Manahan Stadium, they lost 3-0 to Mali in the fight to get on the podium. Those led by Diego Placente suffered a rout that does not overshadow the great World Cup they had, with a 3-0 win over Brazil included in the quarterfinals. The loss on penalties in the semifinals against Germany was a difficult blow to swallow that was felt this Friday in Surakarta. Below, I relived the best of the meeting.
The Argentine kids were quickly surpassed by those from Mali both in terms of play and results. The Africans didn’t need even ten minutes to open the scoring with a good shot from Ibrahim Diarra.
Mali, which had just lost 2-1 against France in the semi-finals, appeared faster and more emotionally whole than the team led by Diego Placente, who seemed not to have been able to digest the penalty shootout defeat against Germany that forced them to play for third place. . Superior almost the entire first half, the second goal came thanks to Mamadou Doumbia.
The match continued in the same vein and, two minutes into the game, Mali’s third came thanks to a great goal from Hamidou Makalou, who entered the area with a shot and dribbled past Florentín.
In the remainder of the match, Argentina tried to find a discount, but only encountered counterattacks from its rival that did not reach lethality due to great saves by Florentín or failures in definition.
