In the eighteenth minute, El Bilal Toure took advantage of a defensive error to give Mali the lead.
Moses Simon and Cyriel Dessers both had two clear-cut chances later in the game to get Nigeria leveled but squandered them as the Malians held sway.
In the 86th minute, Kamory Doumbia produced a moment of magic to seal the win for the Mali and ensure there was no return for Nigeria.
