Navi Mumbai: Spain won back-to-back FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup titles after edging out Colombia 1-0 in a closely-contested final here on Sunday night.
Playing in front of a 50,000-plus crowd at DY Patil Stadium – a record for women’s football in India — the Colombian girls suffered a heartbreak when Ana Maria Guzman Zapata conceded an own goal eight minutes from full time. It turned out to be the only goal of the final.
