Cassey Phair came off the bench to make history in South Korea’s FIFA Women’s World Cup clash against Colombia.
South Korea’s Casey Phair made history in the early hours of Tuesday morning after breaking Ifeanyi Chiejine’s 24-year-old record at the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Phair etched her name into the record books of the Women’s World Cup after coming on as a substitute in South Korea’s clash against Colombia.

Chiejine had held the record for 24 years after making her debut for Nigeria at the 1999 edition, aged 16 years 34 days.
