S.Korea Finishes 3rd at U-20 Women's World Cup

South Korea beat Colombia 1-0 on Sunday to finish in third place at the U-20 Women's World Cup.

A goal from Ji So-yun just four minutes into the second half was all Team Korea needed for the victory in Bielefield, Germany. It is the first time a South Korean national team has finished third at a FIFA tournament.

Ranking second with eight goals in the tournament, Ji also became the first South Korean to win the Silver Ball and Silver Shoe honors at a FIFA event. The Silver Ball is given to the second-best player in the tournament and Silver Shoe to the second-leading scorer.

Team Korea also won FIFA’s Fair Play Award.

In the final match, Germany beat Nigeria 2-0 to win the cup.
