Despite being knocked out in the Quarterfinals of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Germany’s Giulia Gwinn has been awarded the tournament’s Best Young Player Award. She had a terrific tournament and is well deserving of this award.

The 20-year-old (as of July 2) played every minute of Germany’s five matches, notching one goal and one assist. Gwinn spent the last four seasons with Freiburg and agreed to move to Bayern Munich this summer.

Here was Gwinn’s game-winning goal against China in the opening match.
