Brazil earns consolation win over Mali to finish 3rd in U 17 World Cup Soccer
Midfielders Alan and Yuri Alberto, who came in the second half, scored the goals in the 57th and 77th minute of the game.
It was Mali who dominated the proceedings, specially in the first half and made several goal bound moves; but ailed to finish any of them.
Mali keeper Youssouf Koita was also responsible for the first goal as he failed to hold an easy shot and let go through its hands.
Mali finished 4th in the championship.
