The match became even hotter because Brunner and Moerstedt restored the situation so that the score was 2-3 for Germany. However, in the 90th minute, Agustín Ruberto scored the third goal so the match ended with the score 3-3 and forcing a penalty shootout.

Diego Placente’s side have scored 16 goals and conceded 10 in six matches, with Agustín Ruberto leading the scoring charts with eight goals, followed by Echeverri (5 goals) and Santiago Grobin (2 goals). This was their fourth appearance in the third-place match, having finished third in 1991, 1995, and 2003.

Mali U17s have also had a great run in this tournament, reaching the semifinals for the third time in the last four editions. They were runners-up in group B, 1 point different from Spain.
