FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup
While DPR Korea are two-time champions, Poland are appearing in the tournament for the first time but have turned heads with their performances.
Reigning AFC U17 Women's Asian Cup™ champions DPR Korea, however, will not be unduly worried about the European side going into the tie.
Song Sung Gwon's team were not troubled in the group stage, registering three wins and showed their true quality in Wednesday's 4-0 defeat of England which secured them the Group C top spot.
"I'm really pleased with tonight's victory because we are champions of the group. I believe we have the quality to win this tournament. We will prepare our tactics for Poland," said Song.
Poland booked their ticket to the quarter-finals after holding Brazil to a goalless draw on Wednesday to finish second behind Japan in Group D.
While they are not a free scoring side, Poland have yet to concede but they will face a tough test against DPR Korea, who netted 11 goals in the group stage.
