The Digicel Fiji Young Kulas faced a tough match in their second appearance at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia, suffering a heavy defeat of 0-9 to a strong Canadian team.
Though they put in a determined effort similar to their previous game against Brazil, the Canadian squad proved to be too powerful. Canada quickly established dominance, racing to a 7-0 lead by halftime.
Despite the challenging circumstances, 15-year-old Fijian goalkeeper Aliana Vakaloloma emerged as a standout player, making several crucial saves. However, the Fijian defense struggled to cope with the relentless attacks from the Canadian side.
Looking ahead, the Fiji Young Kulas will prepare for their final group stage match against France.
