South Korea’s U-17 women’s national team, led by head coach Kim Eun-jung, felt the world’s wall.
South Korea lost to the U.S. 0-5 in the third Group B match of the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup at Estadio Sibao FC in Santiago de Los Caballeros, Dominican Republic on the 23rd (Korea time).
Korea, which had a 1-1 draw with Colombia in the first round, lost to the U.S. 0-5 after Spain. Korea, which had one draw and two losses, wrapped up its journey in the group league.
Since its advance to the quarterfinals in 2008 and the championship in 2010, Korea has been mired in a long slump. It failed to advance to the finals four times (2012, 2014, 2016 and 2022), and failed to pass the group stage in 2018 and this year. 스포츠토토
Korea lost the first point in the first minute of the game. The defender’s pass was lost to Mel Barcenas, which led to the loss of the ball. The second goal was also lost soon. Kennedy Fuller, who received Barcenas’ pass in the 10th minute, lost an additional point with a left-footed shot.
Korea scored its first shot in the 23rd minute of the first half. Shin Da-in (Ulsan Hyundai High School) tried to shoot from a mid-range distance but failed.
South Korea lost points early in the second half following the first half. During the goalkeeper’s build-up process, he gave an inaccurate kick to the opponent’s pressure. The ball was connected to the opponent and Barcenas cut into the Korean net. Korea, which became heavier, bowed its head to Mary Long and Maddie Padelski in the 23rd and 42nd minutes of the second half, respectively.
