Mali beat a much-fancied Ghana team 3-0 to book their place in the U20 World Cup quarter-finals in New Zealand…
But it was the quality of the play which caught the eye. Les Aigles stunned their West African opponents with a sumptuous brand of football that wouldn’t look out of place at the Camp Nou or Maracanã.
Coach Moussa Keita has his talented youngsters playing a lovely tiki-taka style, with the confidence and technique to finish slick moves with stylish aplomb.
Check out the goals below – each one is a corker…
