With both teams having already confirmed their knockout stage berths with a match to spare, the tie at the CFC Stadium in Santiago de los Caballeros was to decide the group winners.

There was no stopping reigning AFC U17 Women's Asian Cup champions DPR Korea as they took the lead in the 10th minute through Kang Ryu Mi who steered home a cross from Jon Il Chong from the left wing.

Eight minutes later, FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Colombia 2024™ Golden Ball winner Choe Il Son doubled their lead as England's resistance was broken.

The third was scored in the 69th minute by Ri Kuk Hyang from the penalty spot after a video review and a fine finish four minutes Ho Kyong completed the scoring.
