Yu Jong Hyang scored both goals as DPR Korea defeated Brazil 2-0 to advance to the final of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Morocco 2025 in Rabat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victory took the defending champions to within a match of lifting the coveted trophy for a record-extending fourth time, with tournament newcomers Netherlands – who edged Mexico 1-0 in their last four tie – their opponents in Saturday’s final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After an even start between the sides, things tilted in DPR Korea’s favour towards the end of the half when a Pak Rye Yong shot struck the arm of Andreyna on the Brazil goal-line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video review confirmed both a penalty and a red card, reducing Brazil to 10 players and earning the Asian side a spot-kick, which Jong Hyang calmly converted in the 44th minute for her seventh goal of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jong Hyang netted her second shortly after the restart when she controlled an attempted headed clearance with her chest and then fired into goal in the 51st minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DPR Korea then easily saw things out the rest of the way to not only win their sixth match in a row but also extend their unbeaten run in the tournament to 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
