Group B: DPR Korea sail into semi-finals

Chonburi: Holders DPR Korea confirmed their progress to the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 semi-finals as Group B winners, overcoming Korea Republic 3-0 at Chonburi Stadium on Sunday.

A rematch between the 2017 finalists produced a similar result to the previous decider, as DPR Korea overcame their neighbours as well as challenging conditions thanks to goals from Myong Yu-jong, Hong Song-ok and Kim Hye-yong.

While Hwang Yong-song’s side can now look forward to a semi-final meeting with Australia on Wednesday, Sunday’s match was the end of the line for Korea Republic, whose group stage elimination was confirmed.
