The 2024 UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship is under way with two draws in Group B after England and France won their Group A openers.
Group B began on Monday with holders Spain drawing 0-0 against the Republic of Ireland in Marijampolé despite leading the shot count 29-0. Meanwhile, it ended 1-1 in Jonava. Melina Krüger charged down a clearance and dribbled in to give Germany a 75th-minute lead, but Netherlands substitute Hanna Huizenga equalised as the game entered added time.
In Group A on Sunday, Lithuania made their WU19 EURO finals debut and were given a tough game by one of the pre-tournament favourites as England won 10-0 in Kaunas. Poppy Pritchard and Michelle Agyemang both got England hat-tricks in a WU19 EURO final tournament record victory.
In the same group, Nina Matejić's penalty gave Serbia, in their first finals since 2012, the lead against France just past the half-hour and they came close to another on several occasions in Jonava. However, Camille Robillard levelled midway through the second half with a looping shot and Fanny Rossi made it 2-1 to France with seven minutes left after her initial free-kick was blocked, an added-time Wassa Sangaré goal completing the scoring.
Group A continues on Wednesday and Group B on Thursday before concluding at the weekend with the top two teams in each section going through. The semi-finals are on 24 July in Marijampolé and Kaunas, the venue for the decider three days later.
