Match Report

A late Korea DPR own goal gave Canada’s Women’s U-17 Team a second point at the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Costa Rica as they picked up a 1:1 draw.

Sung Hyang Sim had given Korea the lead in the 54^th minute but Kim Jong Sum poked the ball into her own net in the final ten minutes as Canada moved into second place in group B with the draw.

After a quiet start, the game roared to life in the last 15 minutes of the first half as both teams had chances that could have easily seen them go in front.

In the 31^st minute, Canada couldn’t clear a Korean free kick from the right side but they caught a huge break when they saw a resulting shot come back off the post and then, finally, they were able to get it out.

Canada quickly came back the other way and Jessie Fleming hit a long-range shot that caught the Korean goalkeeper, Kim Myong Sun, off her line. Unfortunately for Fleming, the ball came back off the crossbar.

At the start of the second half, Canada started to find some success on the wings as they managed to cross in dangerously on a few different occasions. In the 53^rd minute, Gabrielle Carle got her head to a cross from the left side but as was the case with Fleming’s chance in the first half, it came back agonizingly off the bar.

Korea came right back and really controlled much of the second half before finally taking the lead. Canadian goalkeeper Devon Kerr dove to her right to parry a Korean shot but she couldn’t hold it and the Koreans followed the play in smartly and crossed in from the left and Sung was right in front to tap-in from just a few yards out.

Canada really didn’t look like they had a goal in them as Korea continued to press but the Koreans inability to put the game away ultimately cost them as Carle put in a dangerous cross from the right that wasn’t touched by any teammate but was redirected just over the line by Kim Jong Sim.
