French Youth Triumph: Securing World Cup Final Berth Against Mali
France's senior football team may have been absent from the World Cup for the past two seasons, but their junior counterparts have successfully secured a spot in the Under-17 Football World Cup final. Following a hard-fought victory against Mali with a scoreline of 2-1, the French youth team is set to face Germany in the final on Thursday, December 2.
The match saw Mali taking an early lead in the first half, with Ibrahim Diarra finding the back of the net. However, France's Ian Titi equalized in the second half, leveling the score at 1-1. The winning goal for France came courtesy of Ismail Boneb, who successfully scored in the later stages of the game.
Mali started the match with vigor, even managing to take the lead in the added time of the first half. Unfortunately, their advantage was short-lived as, in the 55th minute, Soleman Sanogo received a red card, leaving Mali with only ten players on the field. France capitalized on this opportunity, with Ian Titi scoring in the 56th minute, followed by Ismail Boneb's decisive goal in the 69th minute through a free kick. With Mali playing with a numerical disadvantage, they were unable to mount a comeback, and France secured their place in the World Cup final.
