Germany won on November 27 the women's under-19 world championship by ousting China 2-0 in the final in Bangkok.

Simone Laudehr prodded home the first goal after only four minutes when Chinese goalkeeper Zhang Yanru was only able to parry a free kick flighted in from the left-hand side. The Germans controlled most of the game and restricted the Chinese to only a few chances in the second-half, confirming their supremacy late in the game when Melanie Behringer fired home after the ball broke to her on the edge of the area.

The victory was the crowning moment in the 12-team tournament for the Germans -- ranked number one in women's world soccer -- who defeated the strongly-fancied defending champions the United States in the semi-finals.

The United States, who won the first championship in Canada two years ago, beat Brazil 3-0 to take the third place.
