Choe Rim Jong starred with a hat-trick and an assist in DPR Korea's opening win against Mexico and it was the turn of So Ryu Gyong and Ho Kyong to provide the fireworks in a comfortable victory against Kenya at CFC Stadium in Santiago de los Caballeros.

So led the way with two goals, with Ho contributing the assist on each.

The first was served up on a silver platter in the eighth minute, and was followed three minutes later by a near carbon copy.

Like in the first game, FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Colombia 2024 Golden Ball winner Choe Il-son departed in the first half, and Kenya began to grow with belief.

The DPR Korea attack did not have the same spark without Choe, but their healthy ability to limit miscues to the bare minimum made for a hazard-free final 45 minutes.

Ri Kuk-hyang then made sure there would be no Kenya comeback with a thumping header late on.

DPR Korea meet England on Wednesday while Kenya face Mexico.
