JUARA.NET – Lionel Messi’s juniors ended the 2023 U-17 World Cup tragically after Argentina was beaten by Mali, who performed impressively to win the bronze medal.
Argentina faces Mali in the match for third place in the 2023 U-17 World Cup, Friday (1/12/2023) at Manahan Stadium, Surakarta.
Even though they can no longer win the tournament, Lionel Messi’s juniors still have the opportunity to bring home individual titles from their players.
Striker Agustin Ruberto has a big chance of becoming the top scorer at the 2023 U-17 World Cup.
Before the bronze medal match against Mali, Ruberto had scored 8 goals, far ahead of his rivals in the race for the Golden Boot.
In this match against Mali, Ruberto was not accompanied by the team captain, Claudio Ecveherri, from the first minute.
Mali controlled the game in the first 5 minutes while Argentina found it difficult to get out of their defensive area.
In the 6th minute, Argentina goalkeeper Jeremias Florentin had to make a save for Hamidou Makalou’s curling shot.
Mali’s wave of pressure finally resulted in the opening goal in the 9th minute.
Ibrahim Diarra, one of Ruberto’s challengers for the tournament’s top scorer title, scored a beautiful goal.
