Mo Marley’s Young Lionesses roared into life by defeating current World Champions Korea DPR by 3-1 in their opening game of the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup.  Alessio Russo scored twice as Phil Neville, the England Women’s senior coach, watched on from the stands at the Stade du Clos Gastel in Dinan.  On this form, England will have a very good chance of progressing to the last eight of this tournament. They outplayed their opposition and displayed a maturity beyond their age group with their game management. |

USA responded to their opening 1-0 defeat by Japan with a resounding 6-0 victory over Paraguay in Group C at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup France 2018 in Concarneau.  It was a move of individual brilliance from 17-year-old Sophia Smith in the 15th minute that saw USA score their first goal at France 2018. Picking up the ball in the middle of the park, Smith exchanged a pass with Viviana Villacorta, before dribbling past two opponents and driving in a left-footed shot past Paraguay goalkeeper Isabel Ortiz. The Stars and Stripes then doubled their lead in the 39th minute when a fierce right-footed shot from Smith was parried by Ortiz and then poked in by Savannah Demelo, who made no mistake from close range. |
