The Netherlands U-17 women\u2019s team held their nerve to defeat Cameroon 4\u20133 in a thrilling FIFA U-17 Women\u2019s World Cup group-stage clash, despite being pegged back three times by a fearless young Lionesses side on Saturday at the Mohammed VI Football Academy Pitch 2 in Sal\u00e9.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a game that had everything \u2014 goals, drama, and relentless energy \u2014 as both teams showcased the attacking flair that has defined this tournament.<\/p>\n

Ruthless Dutch start<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dutch started with authority and wasted little time stamping their control.<\/p>\n

Only two minutes<\/strong> in, Lotte Pennock<\/strong> fired the Europeans ahead, finishing coolly from an Anouk Gelevert<\/strong> assist after crisp build-up play.<\/p>\n

Four minutes later, it was Romy Dap<\/strong> who doubled the lead at 6\u2019<\/strong>, pouncing on a defensive lapse to make it 0\u20132<\/strong>, leaving Cameroon stunned and momentarily chasing shadows.<\/p>\n

But the young Lionesses found their rhythm, roared on by their bench and the lively crowd.<\/p>\n

Cameroon fight back<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

At 14 minutes<\/strong>, Cameroon halved the deficit when Diane Tsongo<\/strong>, assisted by Clarisse Aghogue<\/strong>, finished off a swift counterattack \u2014 a moment that reignited belief.<\/p>\n

Just as Cameroon looked to settle, the Netherlands restored their two-goal cushion at 43\u2019<\/strong>, courtesy of Tess van der Vliet<\/strong>, who finished smartly to make it 1\u20133<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, Cameroon refused to bow. Seconds before half-time (45\u2019<\/strong>), Lidwine Tiwa<\/strong> pulled one back with a composed effort, reducing the gap to 2\u20133<\/strong> at the break and setting up a pulsating second half.<\/p>\n

Second-half fireworks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cameroonians emerged from the tunnel with renewed fire, and within three minutes they were level.
\nAt 48\u2019<\/strong>, Yvana Zoua<\/strong>, teed up by Tiwa<\/strong>, made it 3\u20133<\/strong>, sparking wild celebrations on the touchline.<\/p>\n

Zoua\u2019s dynamic display continued to trouble the Dutch defence, forcing an early substitution from the European side as they sought to regain control.<\/p>\n

Then came the decisive moment: at 77 minutes<\/strong>, substitute Anouk Altena<\/strong> turned home a Renfurm R.<\/strong> assist to put the Netherlands back in front (3\u20134)<\/strong>. Despite intense late pressure from Cameroon \u2014 including yellow cards for Aude Tazanou<\/strong> (87\u2019) and Viviane Ngali<\/strong> (90+3\u2019) \u2014 the Dutch held on to claim all three points.<\/p>\n
