Czech Republic offers itself a perfect start after beating Mali

We had to wait until the hour of playing to see a new opportunity. And what opportunity. Lutonsky (CZE, 19) passed it to Fulnek (CZE, 9), alone in the box, who scored with a crossed shot. A goal which was the only notable point of a very quiet second period. Surely a disappointing start for Mali, who deserved better looking to its first half. Fousseini Diawara's team will have the opportunity to get a better result for her next game, against Mexico.
