Chinese Taipei U17 Women beat Algeria 3:0 in their U17 World Cup fixture on 10 August 2026. The hosts moved clear of the Algerians in the standings with the result. By then Algeria had already lost five matches without registering a single point.
The home side sits third on eight points from five games — two wins, three losses. And here's the thing, they had just bounced back from defeats to Puerto Rico and South Korea with that 3:0 win over the Dominican Republic. Algeria, meanwhile, remain bottom despite being listed sixth. Five losses, zero points, and a string of heavy defeats.
Recent form tells a story. Chinese Taipei's last outing before this match was a comfortable victory, while Algeria's last three games all ended 0:3 — against Italy, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. To be fair, the gap between the sides was visible before the final whistle.
By then the Algerians had not scored in any of those recent fixtures. The hosts, by contrast, had found the net in two of their last three matches. This result extends their unbeaten run to one game after two consecutive losses.
Algeria's campaign is now defined by what they have not achieved. Five defeats, a goal difference that reflects the scorelines, and no path to recovery in sight. Chinese Taipei's position is more stable — they still have room to improve, but they know how to win these matches when they need to.
