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 0-9 defeat to a strong Canadian team.
Despite their determined effort, which mirrored their intensity in the previous match against Brazil, they were overpowered by Canada’s dominance.
The Canadian team swiftly took charge of the game, leading 7-0 by the halftime break.
In spite of the scoreline, 15-year-old Fijian goalkeeper Aliana Vakaloloma made a significant impact with several crucial saves, demonstrating her potential in difficult circumstances.
While Fiji’s defense was tenacious, they struggled to cope with the relentless assaults from the Canadian attackers.
The Fiji Young Kulas will now shift their focus to their upcoming final group stage match against France.
