Mexican U17 Women's National Team Advances to Quarterfinals in World Cup

The young players of the Mexican U-17 women's national team made another impressive statement in the ongoing World Cup in Jordan, defeating the host country by a commanding score of 4-1 and securing their spot in the tournament's quarterfinals.

The feast for Christopher Cuéllar's team did not start off well, as only six minutes had passed when Abu Sabbah executed a great individual play that concluded with a powerful left-footed strike from long distance, which found its way into the top right corner of goalkeeper Brann's net.

From then on, Mexico grew stronger and became the dominant side in the match. In fact, by the 13th minute, they had already equalized the score with a goal by Enrigue. Four minutes later, they were already winning thanks to a goal by Dayana Cázares.

After halftime, Mexico maintained their pace, continuously pressuring and consistently reaching Jordan's penalty area. It wasn't long before Jacqueline Ovalle extended their lead with a well-placed shot that goalkeeper Albustanji couldn't contain.

With only five minutes left on the clock, Mexico sealed the scoreline with a goal by Gabriela Juárez, widening the goal difference to +8.

Having already secured their place in the next round, Mexico will face Spain on Friday, October 7th at 8:00 am.
