FSU sports information:
Five current Seminoles advanced into the quarterfinals of the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup at the Estadio El Campín on Wednesday evening.
After cruising through group play and outscoring opponents 14-0 in three matches, Brazil came into the match red-hot against tournament debutants Cameroon. After conceding an early goal, Brazil equalized from the penalty spot to tie the match at 1-1 before extra time was required. The Seleção immediately scored in the first minute of extended play before punching their ticket to Medellín and facing the winner of North Korea and Austria in the quarterfinals on Sunday.
The United States came out second in Group C and met a familiar foe in CONCACAF rival Mexico in the Round of 16. Taylor Suarez and Heather Gilchrist appeared in the starting lineup. The United States struck first at the ten minute mark before Mexico equalized just inside 25 minutes. Not five minutes passed before the Stars and Stripes regained the lead before conceding just before half at 2-2.
Just before the end of regulation, goal scorer Pietra Tordin was subbed off for Jordynn Dudley and the national freshman of the year took full advantage of the opportunity. Dudley was able to beat the defender and run towards the near post and sent her shot roaring into the top of the netting to put the U.S. ahead in extra time. Dudley scored her first goal of the tournament and worked through the remaining time off to seal a huge victory. The Americans await the winner of Germany and Argentina for a major quarter final battle in Cali.
