Race.
On April 2, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee announced that the DPRK team was sentenced to a 0-3 loss to Japan for canceling their home match against Japan. Despite the strength of the Japanese team, it has been difficult for the DPRK to gain the upper hand on their home field. This 0-3 penalty is undoubtedly a huge blow to the DPRK team.
However, North Korea showed resilience in this unfavorable situation. In last night's World Qualifier, the DPRK team defeated Syria 1-0, achieving a crucial victory. After this game, the DPRK team has 6 points, Syria team has 7 points, the promotion situation is still pending.
In the final round of matches, North Korea will host Myanmar, while Syria will be on the road to take on rivals Japan. In the first round, Japan beat Syria 5-0 on the road, while North Korea beat Myanmar 6-1 on the road. Based on these results, North Korea still has high hopes of winning at home in the final round to advance to the Round of 18.
This match will determine the final standings of Group B. North Korea will need to go all out for a win at home, while hoping that Japan can continue to play well at home and stop Syria. A successful breakthrough for the DPRK will lay a solid foundation for the upcoming World Cup and Asian Cup qualifiers.
