USA Beat Samoa 17-0 in Biggest Win in World Cup History

The United States opened their U-17 Women's World Cup campaign with a 17-0 victory over Samoa in Salé, Morocco — the largest winning margin at any age level in World Cup history. Ten players scored, with forward Maddie DiMaria leading the way with six goals, the first player to score six at a FIFA finals since Haaland. The result sets an all-time World Cup record for margin of victory across all age levels and competitions, surpassing Morocco's 16-0 win against New Caledonia at the 2025 U-17 men's World Cup.
