England U15 continue their campaign at the FIFA U15 World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan, with their third fixture against Cambodia this Sunday, 25 October. The Young Lions made a perfect start to the tournament with a 4-0 victory over Nicaragua, thanks in part to an Isaac Allen brace, before following it up with a 2-1 win over Montenegro earlier this morning. Matt Thorpe’s side will now be looking to make it three wins in a row and maintain their strong start to the competition.
The Young Lions looking to build on their winning start
Matt Thorpe has a 14-player squad at his disposal for this inaugural tournament, which is played in an eight-a-side format, with two 20-minute halves. Several players have already made their mark across the opening two fixtures, including Isaac Allen, who scored twice against Nicaragua, while Kobi Akerele and Azae Bonnick also got on the scoresheet in that opening victory. Against Montenegro, Emmanuel Famokun scored England’s second goal after an own goal had given the Young Lions an early lead. Having won both of their opening matches, England will now look to maintain their momentum against Cambodia as they continue their Group C campaign.
