Ri demands more from DPR Korea; Vietnam’s Ijiri sees positives

Tashkent: Rather than being pleased with his side’s emphatic win on Thursday, DPR Korea head coach Ri Song Ho said he had expected more from his team in their AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup™ Uzbekistan 2024 clash against Vietnam.

A dominant performance saw DPR Korea notch a 6-0 win over the Southeast Asian side in Group B but the 53-year-old was disappointed that his charges couldn’t score more from their 30 shots to improve their goal difference, which could ultimately decide the final group standings.

Defeat for China PR meant their hopes are hanging by a thread, with victory against Vietnam needed on Sunday with DPR Korea - on four points - to face Japan.

Kano: Second-half resilience key to Japan’s victory

Tashkent: Head coach Michihisa Kano said a change in tactics in the second half propelled Japan to their 2-0 victory over China PR on Thursday, which secured their AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup™ Uzbekistan 2024 semi-final berth. 

Japan took the lead in the first half through Maya Hijikata before Suzu Amano’s strike closed out the game, which meant the East Asian side also booked their place in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Colombia 2024.
