Sunday November, 16 was the final game in the fight for the Women’s FIFA 2008 U-17 World Cup, which came down to South Korea and the United States. The Americans fought hard but it was a 2-1 victory when the game went into extra time.

At the beginning things looked promising for the USA when a long throw-in bounced awkwardly past the Korean goal and deflected in accidentally by defender Hong Myong Hui and into the net. Fans expected the game to be full of foibles like that, however Korea bounced back forcing a tie in the 77 min and taking them into extra time where they scored again. 

North Korea has never won a U-17 title. They did win the U-20 World Cup two years ago.
