The Spanish forward led the scoring charts throughout the tournament in Poland and maintained her position at the summit as the competition concluded. Comendador’s clinical finishing played a key role in Spain’s successful campaign, which culminated in a penalty shoot-out victory over DPR Korea in the final.
Argentina’s Annika Paz and DPR Korea’s Choe Yon A finished joint-second with five goals each. Several other players, including Spain’s Celia Segura and Marisa Garcia, as well as Italy’s Karen Appiah, ended the tournament with four goals.
Previous Golden Boot winners at the U-20 Women’s World Cup include notable names such as Christine Sinclair (Canada, 2002), Alexandra Popp (Germany, 2010), Asisat Oshoala (Nigeria, 2014) and Choe Il-son (DPR Korea, 2024).
Comendador’s haul of six goals places her among the higher-scoring Golden Boot winners in recent editions of the tournament. Her contribution underlined Spain’s attacking strength as they lifted the trophy for the first time.
The final scoring standings reflect the competitive nature of the 2026 finals, with goals shared among a range of players from Europe, Asia, South America and Africa. Comendador’s consistency across the group stage and knockout rounds secured her the individual honour as Spain celebrated team success.
