Vannes: Japan lifted the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup for the first time with a stunning 3-1 win over Spain at Stade de la Rabine on Friday.
Futosh Ikeda's side withstood an early surge, but goals to Hinata Miyazawa, Saori Takarda and Fuka Nagano gave them a 3-0 lead from which Spain were unable to recover, despite Candela Andujar's goal.
The historic win makes Japan the first country to complete the trifecta of Women's World Cups at senior, U-20 and U-17 levels, and the first new name of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup trophy since DPR Korea in 2006.
