USA third at FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup after late own-goal – SheKicks

USA edged the Netherlands 2-1 after extra time in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup third-place play off match.

Allyson Sentnor gave the Americans a 10th-minute lead in front of over 11,000 at the Estadio El Campín in Bogotá, Colombia.

The Dutch were back on level terms before the half-hour mark, Robine Lacroix with the equaliser.

With no further addition to the score in normal time, the tie went to extra time and very nearly penalties too.

However, a 119th-minute own-goal by the unfortunate Nayomi Buikema gave the USA victory.
