It was a goal of huge significance as DPR Korea added the Indonesia 2024 decider to the seven successive AFC U-16 Women’s Championship finals as well as stamping their ticket to October’s FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Dominican Republic 2024.

“The match reconfirmed my belief that we will always win when we play with good teamwork,” said Choe.

“I think I played well and scored the goal but it was also important for the team to have played well.

“We were united and worked together with the coach’s strategy and in the end, it all worked out.”

Choe was an influential figure in the heart of midfield, with DPR Korea producing 20 shots compared to China PR’s three.

The Naegohyang Women’s FC player will next look to play a starring role in the mouth-watering final against Japan on Sunday, a match pitting two sides with perfect records.
