FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup
Yu Jong Hyang led the charge with a brilliant brace as the three-time winners set up a quarter-final clash against either Japan or Colombia.
Korea DPR scored with their first attack, as Morocco failed to clear and Yu headed into the net in the third minute.
In short order the advantage was doubled seven minutes later on a clever back-heeled finish from Kim Won Sim off a corner kick.
Shortly before half-time, the holders tacked on two more, first with Ri Kyong Im swinging in a free-kick into the left side of net in the 42nd minute, followed by an Imene Diyen own goal a minute later after goalkeeper Salma Assahl had spilled in front of her goal.
DPR Korea captain Ri Jin A then got in on the act in the second stanza, lashing home a left-footed laser in the 71st minute, before another Assahl fumble from a free-kick made for an easy tap-in for Yu eight minutes later.
Morocco would get a late consolation goal, though, with Maissane Ferkous turning in a rebound in the 89th minute.
