Tanzania debuted against Japan, and that match ended 4-0. The Asians prevailed with goals from Uno Shiragaki, Mao Imatura, Ai Tsujisuwa and Momoko Tanikawa; in their second game, they surprisingly beat France 2-1 with goals from Diana William Manly and Christer John Bahera, while the discount for the Europeans was through Lucie Colaba. The last game was against Canada, with a 1-1 draw. The goals came through Verónica Mapunda and Amanda Marie Allen.
The Tanzanian coach, Bakari Shime, usually opts for a 4-2-3-1 tactical scheme, which allows him to have several players in the midfield with blocky defensive returns, while when attacking, they have two favourable keys, take advantage of the speed of their footballers on the wings and bet on the aerial play due to the height of their attackers.
The teams from the United States, Brazil, Germany, Nigeria, Colombia, Spain, Japan and Tanzania were the ones that prevailed in their respective groups after the first three dates. They sealed their pass to the next round of the World Cup competition.
The quarterfinals of the U-17 Women's World Cup in India will be played on Friday, October 21 and Saturday, October 22, respectively.
