After a humiliating 0-8 thrashing against USA in their FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022 opener, hosts India put a much better show before going 0-3 down to Morocco in their second match at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Friday. The Indians created few chances in the first half but failed to convert them. Morocco too had their chances but Melody Chanu was rock solid under the bar to go into the break at 0-0. Morocco turned the tables in the second half as they took the lead from a El Madani Doha penalty. Yasmine Zouhir and Djennah Cherif added the second and third on 61 and 91 minutes respectively to lodge full points in the tournament.
