Seeking to emulate their compatriots who lifted the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Colombia 2024, DPR Korea settled quickly into the tie at CFC Stadium in Santiago de los Caballeros.
Rim Jong opened the scoring in the 14th minute and the two-time champions doubled their lead 12 minutes later through U-20 Women’s World Cup Golden Ball winner Choe Il Son, with Rim Jong earning the assist.
