Maddie DiMaria was the star of the show, scoring six goals in the match and becoming the first player to score six times in a single match in competition history. She also became the first player to score six goals in a FIFA women's World Cup match at any level. DiMaria's impressive performance was part of a relentless US attack that saw 10 different players on the scoresheet, including Carolina Reyna and Loradana Paletta, who each added two goals to the tally.
The USWNT U17 team mounted a 9-0 lead by halftime, tying Germany's 2010 tournament record for first-half goals. They went on to take 58 shots over 90 minutes, with DiMaria spearheading the attack. The USWNT U17 team resumes Group E action on Thursday against Kenya, who dropped their opener 3-0 to China PR.
