Since the early minutes, Les Bleus immediately stepped on the gas to open the scoring. Their efforts bore fruit when the game had only been running for two minutes.

France's U-17 opener was created by Total Amougou. The slick goal came from Ismail Buneb's pass through a corner.

Amogou immediately fired a shot without being controlled first. South Korean goalkeeper Hong Seong-min was unable to block a powerful shot that headed into the top right corner of the net.

After the quick goal, South Korea U-17 tried to put up a fight to avoid defeat.

In the 20th minute they had a chance through Kim Myong-jun, but his shot was blocked by the French goalkeeper, Mathys Niflore.

After winning, France did not relax the attack. They are still trying to double the advantage through a quick counter-attack.

However, there is not a single chance that can be converted into a goal until halftime.

Continuing to the second half, South Korea U-17 tried to take over the game and attack initiatives. Je Ho-woon had a golden opportunity in the 69th minute by taking advantage of the wild ball in front of the penalty box, but was still able to catch Mathys Niflore.

It didn't stop there, South Korea U-17 launched several dangerous threats at the end of the match. Unfortunately, the attack was still broken. France U-17 also managed to maintain a 1-0 advantage until the game was over.
