The reigning AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup champions only need a draw to top the group but such has been the potency of their performances that they will be expecting a third win on the trot.
Champions in 2006 and 2016, DPR Korea have looked like genuine title contenders at Colombia 2024 with two stirring performances so far.
An emphatic 6-2 win against Argentina was followed by an even more resounding 9-0 defeat of Costa Rica as DPR Korea signaled their intention to lift the trophy for a third time.
Just as it was at the AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup Uzbekistan 2024, multiple players have found the net and this signals trouble for DPR Korea’s opponents.
Choe Il Son is their leading scorer with three goals but the likes of Choe Kang Ryon, Kim Song Gyong and Pak Mi Ryong are equally lethal in front of goal, making DPR Korea an extremely difficult team to deal with.
