Park Ye-sol doubled their advantage two minutes later, converting Kim Hee-jin’s deflected cross from the right flank before Kim took advantage of UAE’s sluggish backline to lob the ball over goalkeeper Ghalya Ibrahim Ali Hassan Jama.
Kim struck again just a minute later, converting Jung’s lofted ball into the box with a close-range finish to put Korea Republic firmly in control.
Ko Ji-eun added a fifth from distance in the 25th minute before turning provider five minutes later, releasing Kim with a neat through ball for the forward to complete her hat-trick.

There was still time for Kim to strike again in the 89th minute, completing a remarkable seven-goal haul to seal Korea Republic’s emphatic victory.
Jordan 1-1 Tajikistan
Jordan were the early aggressors and kept Elmira Karshieve busy with the Tajikistan goalkeeper denying Yena Dweik’s long range effort from a set-piece situation before reacting quickly to parry Nadin Abu Salha’s follow-up.
Tajikistan continued to keep the door firmly shut on Jordan, with Karshieva producing a composed display as the teams went into the break goalless.

However, Tajikistan turned the tables in the 80th minute when substitute Dilafruz Abdikarimova pounced on a poor clearance by the Jordanian defence to slot home, just two minutes after coming on.
