India’s debut in the FIFA U-17 Women’s Football World Cup was bittersweet. In the first game, they lost to America by eight goals. After conceding five goals in the first half, Thomas Dennerby’s team tried to hold back a bit in the second half.
Melina Remimbas led the American attack with a double. Charlotte Koehler, Paloma Gamero, Gisele Thompson, Ella Emery, Taylor Suarez and Mia Buta were also on target.
The Indian team led by Astam Orion might not hold back once morest the experience and strength of America. America took the lead within minutes of the game. Captain Riley Jackson shined. Jackson’s cross was headed in by Remimbas. By the end of the quarter hour, Riley attacked the Indian goal once more. Kohler scored this time. India might not come back. Meanwhile, Neha’s shot hit the American defense and went out.
Often the Indian players did not get control. The ball was easily released to the feet of the opponents. This is how the third goal was conceded. By the end of the first half, America had 80 percent of the ball.
There was no change in the game in the second half. Goal keeper Anjali’s skill in the last stages did not wait for more goals.
