The Women's Asian Football Association (WAFA) played a gold medal match on Friday night (6) when the Japanese women took on the North Korean women's soccer team.
The North Korean women's soccer team won 8-0 against Uzbekistan in the last 4 rounds of the tournament and 4-1 against South Korea in the last 8 rounds of the tournament, so they have not faced too many challenges in the knockout rounds of the tournament. Looking at this year's tournament, it seems that they have not been affected by their removal from FIFA and their 3-year absence from international matches, and they are still able to compete with the top teams in Asia, such as China and Japan.
North Korean women's soccer striker Kim Kyung-yeong is currently leading the scoring charts with 11 goals, four short of China's Wang Frost, and this is a chance for her to keep the advantage.
