Before then easing to an eventual 6-1 scoreline with two more goals in the second half and Czechia with just one late consolation goal of their own.

There were two goals each for  Shea Lacey and Shumaira Mheuka in the first half.

Then Brooke Nfonkeu-Feuba and Ben Broggio after the break, scoring in the 79th and 91st minutes respectively.
