U17 Women's World Cup Standings: China Defeats Ecuador 4-0 to Advance Second, USA Beats Norway 5-0

On October 25th Beijing time, the third round of Group C in the U17 Women's World Cup saw two matches finish. The Chinese team shone with multiple scorers to overwhelm Ecuador 4-0, and the USA played aggressively to thrash Norway 5-0. This led to the final group standings: the USA finished first with three straight wins, China qualified second with two wins and one loss, Ecuador placed third with one win and two losses, and Norway ended with three straight defeats, finishing last and eliminated!

China faced Ecuador. Both teams entered this match with one win and one loss, keeping their qualification hopes alive. This round was a fierce battle for second place in the group. China played with strong momentum, relentlessly attacking in the first half, with four different players combining to score four goals. In the second half, both teams made substitutions, but due to limited quality from the bench, our pressure on Ecuador lessened. Even a prime penalty opportunity was missed, squandering a chance to extend the lead. Ultimately, we secured a 4-0 victory, achieving a great win and successfully advancing to the knockout stage round of 16 as the group’s second qualifier!

The USA played against Norway. With two wins already, the USA had secured advancement early, while Norway, having lost twice, was almost out. One team was full of momentum, the other downhearted, so the outcome was predictable. From the start, the USA controlled the game effortlessly, clearly dominating the tempo. Although they only scored once in the first half due to missed chances, they unleashed a scoring spree in the second half, netting four more goals with overwhelming force. The match ended 5-0 in favor of the USA, who completed a perfect 3-win streak to top the group and advance to the round of 16. Norway embarrassingly ended with three straight losses, no goals scored, and last place elimination!

Thus, the fate of the four teams in this group is decided: the USA and China advance directly to the knockout round of 16 as the top two teams. Ecuador, finishing third, must hope to be among the best four third-placed teams to move on. Norway’s outcome is shocking — as runners-up of the European Youth Championship, they failed to win any match, lost all three, scored zero goals, finished last, and were eliminated. Their defeat was painfully thorough and truly unfortunate!
