Eliminated from the 2024 Fifa Under-17 Women's World Cup in the Dominican Republic, Kenya’s “Junior Starlets” have vowed to exact revenge on Mexico in their final Group ‘C’ clash on Thursday morning in Santo Domingo.
Mildred Cheche's side went down 3-0 against double champions North Korea in Santiago on Sunday, with So Ryu-Gyong scoring a brace in the eighth and 11th minutes as Ri Kuk-Hyang added the third goal in the 86th minute to seal Starlets second loss in the global showpiece. Starlets went down 2-0 to England on Friday.
Coach Cheche and her girls have pledged to end the tournament with atleast a victory or a point and now their main focus is on Mexico who also are pointless in the group.
