Kim Yun-ok hails DPR Korea unity after opening day win 

Chonburi: DPR Korea forward Kim Yun-ok has hailed her team’s exceptional unity following their 5-1 win over Australia at the AFC U-19 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 on Sunday.

Despite falling behind to an early Kyra Cooney-cross header, former title winners DPR Korea recovered superbly to take a 2-1 lead going into the break.

Song Sung-gwon’s charges never looked back after that, adding three more goals in the second period to claim an emphatic victory and, with it, top spot in Group A.

Half-time rally key to Vietnam win, says Van Su

Chonburi: Vietnam ace Ngan Thi Van Su has revealed that a rousing half-time talk was key to her side’s 2-0 win over Thailand at the AFC U-19 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 on Sunday.

Despite seeing their opponents dominate much of the first period, Vietnam held the hosts at bay throughout an entertaining opening 45 minutes at a damp Chonburi Stadium.

However, after a spirited dressing-room discussion between both players and head coach Ijiri Akira, Nguyen Thi Tuyet Ngan’s penalty and a late strike from Van Su subsequently saw Vietnam seal a crucial opening day success – a victory which leaves the 2004 quarter-finalists occupying second spot in the Group A standings.
