Tension is building at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland tonight, with semi-finalists Serbia and Mali tied up at 1-1.
The young West African team, who were trailing for much of the first half, equalised just before half-time with a stunning long range goal from Youssouf Kone.
The jubilation and celebration of the players and bench was met with huge cheers from the crowd, many of whom seem to be supporting the boys in yellow.
The Serbian community in Auckland have come out in force, however, and were rewarded early when their side went 1-0 up from a strike by Andrija Zivkovic.
At half-time, George Kondic from Belgrade said he hoped his side would return to the form they were displaying in early stages of the first half.
