The Asian side took the lead in style when Ri Ui Gyong laid the ball off to Ri Kyong Im, who powerfully struck the ball into the top-right corner from just inside the area.

A goal down, the Dutch were soon a player down when Aline Weerelts was shown a red card for bringing down Yu Jong Hyang just outside the area.

The Netherlands' evening then took another turn for the worse after Maren Groothoff turned the ball into her own net while attempting to block a close-range cross from Ri, which flew across the face of the goal.

Yu extended the Koreans' lead midway through the second half when she neatly headed in a cross from Pak Rye-yong.

The three points were sealed by a stunning 35-yard effort from Ri Hyo Yang and a late penalty from Yu following a handball in the area.
