The Golden Boot race at the ongoing Morocco FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup has exploded into life. Following a historic round of opening fixtures across Groups A through F in Rabat, the world's most elite young finishers are setting astonishing goalscoring benchmarks.

Leading the charge is USA's Maddie DiMaria, whose record-breaking six-goal masterclass against Samoa catapulted her straight to the top of the standings. 

Hovering right behind her are defending champions DPR Korea’s lethal tandem of Yu Jong-hyang and Kim Won-sim, with Yu having already etched her name into international football folklore as the all-time top goalscorer in U-17 Women's World Cup history.
