U20 World Cup: Mali Knocked Out Favourites Germany by Rizmo(m): 12:37am On Jun 15, 2015 |
Tournament favourites Germany have been eliminated from the Fifa Under-20 World Cup after losing on penalties against quarter-final opponents Mali. "We didn't lose the match because of the opponent, we lost it because of penalties," said Germany coach Frank Wormuth. "It's luck to win." Mali won the shootout 4-3 after a 1-1 draw in Christchurch, New Zealand, and face Serbia in Wednesday's semi-final. Senegal meet Brazil in the other last-four tie, also on Wednesday. Julian Brandt had given Germany a first-half lead before Mali's Souleymane Coulibaly equalised after the break. Hany Muklhtar missed a penalty when Wormuth's side were 1-0 up while Brandt and Niklas Stark failed to score in the shootout. German penalty efficiency Germany's senior men's team have developed a fearsome reputation in penalty shootouts over the years, winning four of their World Cup ties by this method. Only Argentina have won as many World Cup penalty shootouts as Germany. Remember our dream team led by Manu Garba lost to this tactical German team in the second round. Congrats to the Malian team. They have done Africa proud. |

Wow ![]() *Dances* Our boys ''lost concentration" against Germany, that was why they lost , said Manu garba. I guess the Malians found their concentration against them, that was why they won. Thank God it wasn't Ghana that defeated the team we lost to; we wouldn't have found peace again on the internet. |
