AFC Women’s Champions League - PS - Group D: Naegohyang Women’s FC (PRK) 11-0 Master FC (LAO)

Vientiane: Naegohyang Women’s FC put on a display of attacking football to overwhelm hosts Master FC 11-0 in their AFC Women’s Champions League™ 2025/26 Preliminary Stage Group D encounter at the Lao National Stadium KM16 on Monday.

A hat-trick by Choe Kum Ok and a brace apiece by Kim Kyong Yong, Pak Ye Gyong and Min Kyong Jin rounded up a masterful performance befitting Naegohyan’s status as the first women’s club side from DPR Korea to compete in an AFC competition.

Naegohyang opened proceedings within 30 seconds of kick off when Master keeper Phatthalavady Sophothirath mishandled a shot from distance from Choe and gifted the ball to Jong Kum, who fired home from an acute angle.

An unmarked Kim added their second barely a minute later when she latched on to a through ball from Choe and hit a stiff grounder past Sophothirath.

Choe got her name on the scoresheet in the 12th minute when Sophothirath failed to handle her volley, while Kim secured her second two minutes later with a glancing header.

Naegohyang’s fifth came in the 18th minute when Choe headed in from six yards after connecting with Ri Yu Jong’s pin-point cross.

Choe nabbed her hat-trick in the 42nd minute when she collected another fine pass from Ri, evaded her marker and leisurely volleyed home from inside the box.

Naegohyang scored their seventh in the 52nd minute when Kim Un Ju put the ball into an empty net after Sophothirath failed to handle Yu Il Hyang’s cross across the goalmouth.

The hosts’ defence managed to hold off the DPR Korea side’s relentless pressure until the 74th minute when Min found space on the left, outran her marker and placed the ball beyond the keeper’s reach.

Master replaced Sophothirath with reserve keeper Tamon Soukthivong after the goal, only to see Pak curl in Naegohyang’s ninth goal from the edge of the box after the restart.

Pak got her second, and her side’s 10th, in the 85th minute when she connected with Min’s cross from the left and slammed the ball in from close range.

Min completed the emphatic win three minutes into stoppage time when she headed home a corner from Pak.
