As night falls on Friday (6), a battle for the Women's Asian Football Gold Medal kicks off, with Japan's women's soccer team and North Korea's women's soccer team in the spotlight.
Looking back at the North Korean women's soccer team's path to the tournament, they beat Uzbekistan by a stunning 8:0 score in the last four rounds, after easily defeating their traditional rivals, South Korea, with a 4:1 record in the last eight rounds. The North Korean women's soccer team has not faced any major challenges in their knockout round journey. Despite being recently removed from FIFA and not having competed in an international tournament for three years, the team is still a force to be reckoned with and is capable of competing with the top teams in Asia, such as China and Japan.
Kim Kyung-yeong, the North Korean women's soccer team's top scorer, currently leads the scorer's list with 11 goals, four ahead of Chinese scorer Wang Frost. Tonight's match will undoubtedly be a crucial moment for her to consolidate her advantage and fight for goals.
