England finished fourth at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in the Dominican Republic after a 3-0 play-off defeat to the USA.
Kennedy Fuller gave the Americans a first-half lead in front of nearly 4,000 at Estadio Félix Sánchez, in Santo Domingo.
Zara Shaw, Nelly Las and Erica Parkinson all had attempts to get the Young Lionesses back on level terms by the break.
Ainsley McCammon made an England fightback that much harder, when doubling the lead with 18 minutes left on the clock.
Maddie Madelski then made sure of third spot for the USA, with her stoppage-time effort.
