Nigeria 0-2 Mali

It took Mali just 18 minutes to go in front when El Bilal Toure converted a goal-mouth scramble.
Mali would hold on to take a narrow lead to the halftime break.
Head Coach Finidi George introduced Ademola Lookman and Cyriel Dessers but Mali continued to hold on strong in the second half.
With the Super Eagles chasing an equalizer, Mali were able to get a second goal when Kamory Doumbia converted a ball through to him by Mamadou Doumbia.
Mali would hold on for the win and the Super Eagles depart for their respective clubs.
