We’re confident we can win the title, says Won Song

Hanoi: Won Song has insisted that DPR Korea’s 4.25 SC are confident they can be crowned 2019 AFC Cup champions as they get set to face Vietnam’s Hanoi FC in the first leg of the Inter-Zone Final at Hang Day Stadium on Wednesday. 

The Pyongyang club are taking part in the tournament for the third successive year, having reached the Inter-Zone semi-finals in 2017 and the Inter-Zone Final last year, when they were eliminated on away goals by Turkmenistan’s Altyn Asyr.

But 4.25 returned to once again advance to the knockout rounds and then defeated Bangladesh’s Abahani Limited Dhaka in the previous stage to line up a clash with ASEAN Zonal champions Hanoi.
