GEJ had a day before the match, exhorted the Falconets to go all out for victory against their German counterparts, promising them a heroine welcome if they win.

An extra-time winner by Lena Petermann was enough to deny them the FIFA U-20 Women World Cup trophy which took place in Montreal’s Olympic Stadium in Canada as they were beaten 1-0.

This is the second time in three editions that the Falconets have lost out on the trophy.

Four years ago, they also lost 2-0 in a finals against the Germans.Incidentally, it was Germany that also won the Senior men’s FIFA World Cup in Brazil just recently.
