North Korean women win rare match in South to reach Asian Champions League final
North Korea’s first sports team to visit the South in eight years reached the Asian Women’s Champions League final on Wednesday as Naegohyang Women’s FC beat Suwon FC Women 2-1.
Naegohyang came from behind to defeat their rivals from the south amid torrential rain in Suwon, in a hard-fought semi-final played in a fair spirit without any major flashpoints.
Suwon captain Ji So-yun missed a penalty with just over 10 minutes to play.
The North Koreans will stay in South Korea for Saturday’s final,...
