On top of a place in the final, Wednesday's winners will also book a spot in the FIFA U-19 Women’s World Cup 2020 Nigeria.

Hur’s charges head into the match after finishing as runners-up to Japan in Group B, while their East Asian counterparts, on the back of three successive victories, sealed top spot in Group A after an impressive free-scoring group stage campaign.

With a place in the competition’s title showdown – as well as a spot at next year’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup – there for the taking, Hur is adamant that Korea Republic will be more than prepared to counteract DPR Korea’s prowess in the final third.

Join the-AFC.com as we take a look at the key facts and figures to emerge from the tournament’s group stage.

Under the guidance of head coach Son Sung-gwon, DPR Korea have impressed in Chonburi, with three successive victories helping them finish first in Group A and move within touching distance of not only a place in the competition’s final, but also a berth at next year’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Nigeria.

Hur Jung-jae’s charges needed a win against Myanmar at the IPE Chonburi Stadium, but their progress through to the competition’s knockout stage was also reliant on Japan beating China PR in Group B’s other match.

The dynamic midfielder scored her side’s second goal in Sunday’s hard-fought 2-1 win over China PR, a result which saw reigning champions Japan claim pole position in Group B and sail into the competition’s last four on the back of three successive victories.

As the dust settles on 12 pulsating matches in Chonburi, Group A winners DPR Korea will now tackle Group B runners-up Korea Republic, while reigning champions Japan – who topped the Group B standings – are set to meet Australia after they finished second in Group A. Both matches are scheduled to be played on Wednesday.

In addition to Continental glory being on the line, the competition’s top three finishers are guaranteed places at next year’s FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Nigeria.
