The striker was born in the United States and was called up by the country at youth level, but has now made her debut for South Korea.
She came on in the 78th minute in Sydney, besting the previous record set by Nigeria’s Ifeanyi Chiejine, who was 16 years and 34 days when she played at the 1999 World Cup.
South Korea’s English coach Colin Bell called Phair the future after his side started their World Cup with a toothless defeat where they mustered only five shots all game. “She gives us energy and power and that is where we need to step up and every player needs to step up in the next game,” he said.“At least we made history today,” added Bell, referring to Phair’s landmark.
