The first to third places in this competition will be eligible to participate in the FIFA U-17 World Cup to be held in the Dominican Republic in October this year.

Korea is attempting to advance to the U-17 World Cup finals for the first time in six years since the 2018 tournament (eliminated in the group stage).

With this day's loss, Korea's overall record against Japan in this age group was 3 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses.

Casey Eugene Fair (Angel City FC), a mixed-race American striker who also plays for the A national team, was active on the pitch but failed to score his first goal of the tournament.

Pair did not score in the first group match against North Korea (0-7 loss) and missed the second match against Indonesia, which South Korea won 12-0.

Although Fair did not score, she assisted Beom Ye-joo (Gwangyang Girls' High School)'s tying goal in the third game against the Philippines and is recording one assist.

Japan, ahead of the midfield battle, dominated the game.

Korea had only 31% of the ball in the first half, 3 to 11 shots, and 2 to 5 shots on target.

In the end, the first goal was Japan's.

In the 40th minute of the first half, Japan's Amiru Amiru nudged a cross from the left, and Ririka Nezu, in front of the goal area, scored with a right-footed shot to the right of the goal.

Korea, which launched a counterattack, swallowed its disappointment in the 49th minute of the first half as Won Joo-eun (Ulsan Hyundai High School) fell on the right side of the goal and finished with a right-footed shot from Beom Ye-joo's cross, which was blocked by the defense. 슬롯사이트

In the 20th minute of the second half, Korea had a series of shooting opportunities on the left side of the goal area, but they were blocked by the defender and goalkeeper.

On the other hand, Japan did not miss a scoring opportunity.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, when Japan's Korean defender cleared a cross from the right to the left of the goal area, Miharu Shinjo immediately shot to make it 2-0.

In the 27th minute of the second half, Korea used Ji-ae (Hwacheon Information High School) instead of Pair, but it was not enough to block Japan's attack.

In the 43rd minute of the second half, goalkeeper Wu Woo-min (Pohang Electronic Girls' High School) blocked Hinako Kinoshita's shot, but Shinjo, who rushed toward the goal, did not miss the second ball and connected with a strong shot to score multiple goals. 토토사이트
