A determined China PR battled their way back into the semi-final to draw level but Yu netted a hat-trick as the defending champions advanced with a 4-2 victory, with the forward increasing her personal tally to an impressive 11 goals.
Yu, however, refused to take all the credit for herself.
“First of all, I want to thank all the coaches and teammates who helped me score the hat-trick,” said Yu.
“I find myself developing step by step. It’s thanks to the trust and guidance from the people around me - the coaches and my teammates.”

It was, by any standard, the perfect hat-trick as she smashed home the first one with her right foot, headed home the second and steered home her third with her left foot.
“China PR were really good and we had to stay united, that’s how we managed to get success. I hope to score more goals in the future.”
DPR Korea will hope Yu produces another goal-den show in Sunday’s final against Japan.
