The second half of the battle opened with North Korea's tactical layout remaining solid. But in this wave of intense rhythm, Japan went ahead and repeated the mistake of the first half. Moeko Tanigawa's clever corner kick from the left was met by a header from substitute Haruka Osawa, which broke through to put Japan back in front. North Korea then attacked hard, but Moeaki Tanigawa and Rei Chiba tore through the North Korean defense twice in just three minutes, and the score quickly evolved to 4-1.
This drastic change angered DPR Korea coach Li Wei, who decisively replaced goalkeeper Kim Gim Gim Hwi. Although Kim did not have an impact on the scoreline for the next seven minutes, Li Wei made the decision to preserve the dignity of the team. Kim was in tears in the locker room, full of aggression and resentment.
Despite being down by three goals, the DPRK women's soccer team did not give up, and they attacked with all their might in the remaining time, trying to suppress the Japanese women's soccer team. Unfortunately, despite creating many threats, they were unable to convert them into goals. With the referee's whistle blowing, the match came to an end. The Japanese women's soccer team won the Hangzhou Asian Games women's soccer gold medal with a 4-1 victory over the DPRK women's soccer team. In the world of modern soccer, the efficiency of quick counterattacks has long surpassed the importance of ball possession. The average age of the Japanese women's soccer team is less than 22 years old, and the "third team" proved this with practical actions. However, even so, the North Korean women's men's soccer movement still won the applause of the audience, this scene is shocking. Later this month, the Chinese women's soccer team will usher in the Paris Olympic Games qualifier. Among our opponents is the DPRK women's soccer team, and Coach Shui Qingxia and her team watched the DPRK women's soccer team's performance at the Huanglong Stadium. How to deal with the challenge of the DPRK women's soccer team has become an urgent issue for Shui Qingxia to think about.
