The Digicel Fiji Young Kulas faced a tough challenge in their second match at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia, suffering a heavy defeat of 0-9 against a strong Canadian team.
Despite their determined effort, reminiscent of their match against Brazil, the Canadian team proved to be too powerful. Canada took an early lead, dominating the game and finishing the first half 7-0 ahead.
Fifteen-year-old Fijian goalkeeper Aliana Vakaloloma emerged as a standout player, making several crucial saves despite the difficult circumstances. The Fiji defense showed resilience but struggled against the relentless attacks from the Canadian forwards.
Looking ahead, the Fiji Young Kulas will focus on their upcoming group stage match against France.
