Chonburi: While their ticket to the semi-finals is yet to be officially stamped, Australia will be targeting a big score against Bangladesh on Saturday as they look to overhaul Japan and finish the AFC U-16 Women's Championship Thailand 2019's opening stage as Group A winners.
Doing so would put the Junior Matildas into a knockout stage meeting with Group B’s runners-up, rather than the winners, meaning - with a place in the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in India awaiting the successful teams in next Wednesday’s semi-finals - there is ample incentive for Australia to continue the scoring spree they enjoyed against Thailand.

Chonburi: Australia head coach Rae Dower believes several of her players have exciting careers ahead after they turned on the style to defeat hosts Thailand 6-1 at the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 on Wednesday.
Two goals each to Alana Jancevski, Hana Lowry and Georgia Beaumont helped the Junior Matildas to their biggest win at the tournament since 2013 and put them within 90 minutes of a first semi-final appearance since 2009.
Current senior international stars like Sam Kerr, Emily van Egmond and Caitlin Foord made names for themselves in that tournament, and Dower believes it is only a matter of time before some of her young charges follow in their illustrious footsteps.

Chonburi: Ririka Tanno has big aspirations for herself and Japan as she sets her sights on the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 title and a place in the 2020 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
Three-time champions Japan were held 0-0 by Australia in their Group A opener, but resumed normal business with a comprehensive 9-0 win over Bangladesh on Wednesday.
What made the win even more impressive was that six different players found the back of the net, with Tanno, Momoko Nebu and Maika Hamano scoring two goals each.

Rae Dower’s side took the lead within five minutes and never looked back, piling on the goals in a dominant performance which included two each for Alana Jancevski, Hana Lowry and substitute Georgia Beaumont
The result means only a draw with Bangladesh on Saturday is required to guarantee Australia’s progression to the knockout stage for the first time since 2009, while Thailand are likely to require a win against three-time champions Japan to extend their campaign into a second week.

Chonburi: Japan were simply unstoppable as they defeated Bangladesh 9-0 in Group A of the AFC U-16 Women's Championship Thailand 2019 on Wednesday.
Japan, held to a goalless draw by Australia in their group opener, entered the match knowing they needed a win to keep in sight of the semi-finals.
With that in mind, the young Nadeshiko immediately pressed the South Asians and enjoyed the best of starts when Manaka Hayashi was left with ample space outside the box to let loose a superb strike into the top left corner within the first 70 seconds.
