South Korea forward Casey Phair made history by becoming the youngest player to make their World Cup debut, at 16 years and 26 days old, as well as the first mixed-heritage player to represent Korea.
Coming on in the 78th minute in the 2-0 defeat to Colombia, the U.S.-born Phair made her presence felt with a number of big challenges as she worked tirelessly to try to get Korea back into the game. But it was another teenager, Colombia's 18-year-old Linda Caicedo, who stole the show as she scored on her World Cup debut.
