Ismail Buneb's Free Kick Brings France U-17 To The 2023 U-17 World Cup Final

JAKARTA France U-17 confirmed itself to qualify for the 2023 U-17 World Cup final after a 2-1 win over Mali U-17 at Manahan Stadium, Solo, Tuesday, November 28, 2023, WIB night.

Mali U-17 first took the lead in first-half injury time. They broke the deadlock through Ibrahim Diarra's goal.

Unfortunately, ten minutes from the dressing room, Mali U-17 had to play with ten players. Souleymane Sanogo received a straight red card for violating Ismail Buneb.

France U-17 took advantage of the superior situation for the number of players to rise. They immediately equalized the score through a Yvann Titi goal header one minute after the opponent's red card. Titi can maximize Bouneb's free kick.

Buneb then became the winner thanks to his goal in the 69th minute. His measurable free kick slid hard without being driven away by goalkeeper Burama Kone.

The 2-1 score lasted until the Court blew the long whistle signaling the match was disbanded.

A ticket to the previous final had already been secured by Germany U-17. Der Panzer's troops won against Argentina U-17 on penalties (4-2) after drawing 3-3 in normal time.

The final round between Germany U-17 and France U-17 will take place at the Manahan Stadium, Solo, on Saturday, December 2, 2023. For both teams, this is their second final in the history of participation in the U-17 World Cup.

The day before the 2023 U-17 World Cup final match there will be a third place between Argentina U-17 and Mali U-17 at the same stadium.
