Colonia del Sacramento: Korea Republic's FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Uruguay 2018 campaign ended in disappointment, as they squandered a long-held lead to register a 1-1 draw against Colombia in their final Group D fixture on Wednesday.
It looked for the vast majority of the match as though Cho Mi-jin's 14th minute penalty kick would be enough to secure three points for the already-eliminated Koreans, but Gisela Robledo scored a last-gasp equaliser for the South Americans
Despite their point, Colombia were also eliminated from the competition, with Spain and Canada advancing to the quarter-final stage.

Maldonado: Japan and Mexico secured their places in the quarter-finals of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Uruguay 2018 following a 1-1 draw in their Group B finale in Maldonado on Tuesday.
Group winners Japan, champions in 2014 and runners-up two years ago, will play the second-placed team from Group A - either Ghana or New Zealand - in Saturday's quarter-finals.
A fairly even and competitive first half saw little to separate these two sides, for the most part, in the afternoon sunshine at the Estadio Domingo Burgueno Miguel.
However, five minutes before half-time, the Little Nadeshiko took the lead through a fine finish from the edge of the box by Momoka Kinoshita. Her left-footed curler beat Mexico goalkeeper Jaidy Gutierrez to put the Japanese in front at the break.

Montevideo: A pair of second-half strikes from Jordyn Huitema and Lara Kazandjian led Canada to a 2-0 victory over Korea Republic in Group D at the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Uruguay 2018 and sealed their qualification to the quarter-finals.
The result meant Korea Republic's hopes of advancing to the knockout stage were dashed as the East Asians had also lost their opening match to Spain.
Korea Republic started the match on top, creating the majority of the goalscoring chances. Captain Cho Mij-in came closest to breaking the deadlock when her shot from the top of the penalty area struck the crossbar.

Montevideo: Korea Republic's 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup campaign got off to a forgettable start, as they suffered a comprehensive 4-0 loss at the hands of Spain at Estadio Charrúa on Wednesday.
Appearing in the competition for the first time since 2010, Hur Jung-jae's side were well beaten by a Spanish side whose commanding display, featuring three second-half goals, was among the most impressive seen in Uruguay thus far.
FC Barcelona's Claudia Pina provided two goals, while Eva Navarro and Paola Hernandez scored one apiece for Spain, whose dominance was clear in nearly every statistical category.
Gwak Ro-yeong struck the woodwork early, but it took current European U-17 champions Spain just 17 minutes to take the lead, when Navarro's off the ball run down the left hand side went unnoticed by the Korean defence, leaving the Spanish captain with the simple task of beating Kang Ji-yeon from 10 yards.
