Djemoussa Traore played the ball back into the path of the midfielder, whose first-time finish found the top corner of the New Zealand goal.<\/p>\n<p>Traore was a constant threat down the left for Mali, and five minutes after the break, he doubled the African side\u2019s lead with a fine curling effort into the far corner of the net.<\/p>\n<p>It looked like Mali were on course to a comfortable win, but New Zealand had other ideas on 72 minutes, as substitute Charles Spragg headed home an Elijah cross to halve the deficit.<\/p>\n<p>However, any hopes that the Oceania side had of a comeback ended ten minutes later, as Lassana N&#8217;Diaye scored his third goal of the tournament when he knocked home Fode Konate\u2019s searching low cross on the break to seal victory for the Chile 2015 runners-up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/96124592.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of <b>GHANAsoccernet.com<\/b> &#8211; Ghana&#8217;s leading football news website.
