🇺🇸 USA 🆚 JPN 🇯🇵 Women's U20 Highlights | Group D

Japan, indeed, outplayed USA in a 3-1 victory that saw them storm through quarter-finals. If Manaka Matsukubo’s opener was superb, Shinomi Koyama’s cushion-doubler was sensational. The Japan left-back employed a sublime, surprise touch to slide past her marker before burying a thunderbolt in the side-netting. No goalkeeper would have stopped it.
