AFC U17 Women's Asian Cup
Ji Yun Nam’s side joined Korea Republic on three points and will next face the Philippines on Tuesday.
DPR Korea wasted little time in asserting their dominance, opening the scoring in the third minute when Ri Ui Gyong’s cutback allowed Kim Ju Gyong to apply the finish.
Kim Won Sim doubled DPR Korea’s advantage in the seventh minute when she pounced on a deflected Ri Ye Sim attempt to blast the ball into the bottom corner.
It became 3-0 a minute later when Won Sim’s cross from the right was met with a first-time finish from Yu Jong Hyang as Chinese Taipei were left reeling.
Yu grabbed another in the 20th minute, receiving Ui Gyong’s pass on the edge of the box, turning and smashing the ball past Chinese Taipei custodian Lin Pin-Yu.
Group C: DPR Korea v Chinese Taipei
Item 1 of 8
Cheng Ya-Hsun looked to find some balance in her Chinese Taipei side after the interval by shoring up the midfield with Hsiao Yu-Chien replacing forward Pan Ya-ni but the move did not pan out the way the head coach wanted.
DPR Korea struck again two minutes into the second half after Yu raced clear on the left and drove into the box before squaring for Ye Rim to steer her effort home.
Substitute Won Sol Gyong was next to get on the scoresheet, rifling in a rebound after Yu’s initial strike had bounced off the crossbar in the 62nd minute.
DPR Korea kept the pressure up for the remainder of the match with goals through Yu (68th, 70th, 90th+4) and Kim Sol Song (82nd) capping the comprehensive win.
