The Digicel Fiji Young Kulas faced a difficult match in their second outing at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia, suffering a 0-9 defeat against a strong Canadian team.
Despite their determined effort, reminiscent of their previous match against Brazil, the Canadian squad proved too powerful. Canada quickly established dominance, leading 7-0 by halftime.
Even with the challenging circumstances, 15-year-old Fijian goalkeeper Aliana Vakaloloma distinguished herself with several crucial saves, showcasing potential despite the overwhelming situation.
Though Fiji’s defense showed some resilience, they struggled to cope with the relentless pressure from the Canadian side.
Looking ahead, the Fiji Young Kulas will prepare for their final group stage match against France.
