England's Junior World Cup team in Malaysia emerged from their second Pool C match without a point after their match against Spain earlier today. England conceded two goals to Spain in the first half and it was only in the dying seconds of the match that Bowdon's Alex Edmonstone found the net with a cracking shot into the left bottom corner of the Spanish goal. Final score 2-1 to Spain.
England's next match will be against the USA on Thursday. The USA have enjoyed a torrid time in the tournament so far, conceding 16 goals in only two matches.
