Mali 0 - 2 NigeriaA terrible mistake from a malian defender almost lets in Kayode, but the keeper does well to save the striker's goal-bound effort at the 18th minute.
Nigeria opens scoring at the 21st minute of the first half as Nwofor scores a controversial goal for the flying eagles! Kayode looks to use his arm at the near post to push the ball on, and Nwofor was there to tap home his third goal of the tournament.
Mali got a corner at the 24th minute as Toure sees his shot defelected wide. Poor defending there from the Nigerian defender who would have stopped the ball.
Mali hits the post with his shot from the corner at the 25th minute, he came close in scoring an equalizer.
Nigeria was awarded a penalty at the 95th minute for a foul on Kayode by Ibrahima Diallo.
The second half substitute Stanley Okoro scores from a spot kick at the 98th minute and seals it for Nigeria.
Nigeria win and advance to the final. Mali only had one real chance in the match but hit the post.
