On October 5, the battle was on! In the first round of the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup Qualifiers, the Australia U17s crushed the Northern Marianas U17s with an overwhelming 23-0 victory.
In this much-anticipated match, the Australian U17s showed amazing attacking power and tacit coordination, while the Northern Marianas U17s were slightly passive and porous on the defensive end. In the first half, Australia scored 10 goals, and in the second half, they scored an overwhelming 13 goals to make the score 23-0.
It is worth mentioning that the main striker of the Australian U17 team scored three goals in the match, becoming the brightest star of the whole match. On the other hand, the Northern Marianas U17s failed to score a single goal, and the players looked a bit frustrated in the face of such a huge gap.
The win not only opened the door for the Australian U17s, but also set them on a solid path to qualify for the Asian Cup qualifiers.
