They were able to take advantage of this and reach the second round with two wins and one draw.

With a 10-0 win against Armenia, in which she contributed her first three U-19 goals, and a 4-2 win against Latvia, in which she scored the first and last goals, as well as a goalless draw against the hosts they qualify for the second round as group winners. At the tournament starting at the end of March 2010, they were able to win two games, scoring the 2-1 winner against Ukraine. However, they missed the finals due to a 5-0 defeat against Italy. At the next attempt in September 2010, they only needed two wins against Estonia and Lithuania as Azerbaijan withdrew shortly before the tournament to reach the second round. At the end of March and early April they were able to qualify for the finals with two draws against Serbia and Finland and a win against hosts Russia.
