After a nervous start, Sydney Leroux put the US Women in front in the 23rd minute as her shot was deflected, but found the net. Just before halftime a wonderful individual effort from Alex Morgan yielded the 2nd goal for the Americans. Morgan moved past severl Korean defenders and fired a shot over the keeper's head.
The US Under 20s controlled most of the 2nd half and looked comfortable until Korea grabbed a goal in the 92nd minute. The US killed off the final minute to claim the 2-1 victory and the 2008 Under 20 World Championship.
