Korea-DPR wins FIFA U-17 Women W/Cup

Korea DPR have won the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup for a second time, edging out Japan 5-4 on penalties after an enthralling goalless draw in Amman.

Rio Kanekatsu was the only player of the ten to miss, blasting her spot kick high and wide, which allowed Kim Pom-Ui to slot home the winner and regain a trophy the North Koreans first won eight years ago in New Zealand.

The high-energy, high-quality football on show provided a fantastic advert for the tournament and for women’s football. The pace was frenetic from the word go, with openings at either end and Japan in particular producing superb, flowing moves that thrilled the noisy crowd.
