Ousmane Diakité came on in the latter stages of Mali’s 1-0 win against Liberia in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Tuesday night.
The Baggies midfielder was introduced to the action in the second minute of second-half added time at The Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Monrovia, replacing Brentford’s Mamadou Sangare.
Martial Tia scored the only goal of the contest 11 minutes from the end, a strike which made it two wins from two in qualifying Group K for Diakité’s nation.
Ousmane will hope for a more prominent role when Mali face Tunisia in a friendly on Saturday.
Elsewhere, Albion skipper George Campbell was an unused substitute for USA who beat Chile 4-2 in a friendly in St. Louis.
The USMNT’s next fixture is a friendly against Mexico in the early hours of Sunday morning in Arizona.
