Japan defeated Spain in the final of the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in France to claim the title just 15 days after losing 1-0 to the same opponents in the group stage. The tables were turned this time around as Hinata Miyazawa, Saori Takarada and Fuka Nagano scored to steer the Young Nadeshiko to their first triumph in the competition.
England secured third place earlier in the day, with Georgia Stanway putting the typically-spirited Young Lionesses ahead before Emelyne Laurent equalised to send the game to a penalty shootout, where the English ultimately prevailed 4-2. England’s third place is their highest-ever finish at this tournament.
