Chonburi: A shot at the Asian title may be out of their reach, but China PR are eager to win Saturday’s AFC U-16 Championship Thailand 2019 third-place play-off, according to head coach Chan Yuen Ting.
Chan’s side saw their twin dreams of a maiden Continental title and a place at next year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup India both come crashing down in Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat to Japan, ending a quest which began under former coach Wang Pan in Sri Lanka more than year ago.

Chonburi: Sharpshooter Maika Hamano revealed her joy after Japan reached Saturday’s AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 Final, as well as next year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in India, on Wednesday.
Hamano may have started Wednesday’s semi-final against China PR on the bench, but she ended it with a place in the tournament decider against DPR Korea and the outright lead on the scoring charts after continuing her sparkling form with a fifth goal in four matches.
With successive braces against Bangladesh and Thailand, the 15-year-old forward could have been forgiven for assuming her place in head coach Michihisa Kano’s starting line-up was safe, but she watched the opening 68 minutes of the all-important knockout stage clash from the substitutes' bench.

Chonburi: DPR Korea became the first team to secure a place in Saturday’s AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Final, also sealing qualification for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup India 2020 with a 3-0 semi-final win over Australia on Wednesday.
Kim Hye-yong starred for DPR Korea, scoring two early goals to go equal top of the scoring charts before Kim Pom-i added a late sealer, as Hwang Yong-song’s side continued their excellent run of results to set up a meeting with either Japan or China PR in Saturday’s decider.
Australia’s defeat – their first in an 11-game campaign which began over a year ago – ends their dream of reaching a first ever FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, with a third-place finish now the best they can hope for.
