Austria goes for its second straight win on Thursday night when it takes on New Zealand in the U-20 Women’s World Cup.
Austria looks to stay at the top of Group E when it takes on New Zealand on Thursday night in the 2024 U-20 Women’s World Cup. The Austrian team had a tough first match but it escaped with a big 2-1 win over Ghana. Hannah Fankhauser opened up the scoring with a goal in the 12th minute and Nicole Ojukwu made it a two-goal lead in the 71st minute. Australia held Ghana scoreless until stoppage time when it gave up a goal to Stella Nyameke in the 91st minute. It was a hard-fought match but Austria got the three points for the win and will be looking to do it again on Thursday against a New Zealand team that struggled in its first match.
