DPR Korea seal WORLD CUP RETURN Chinese Taipei DPR Korea Highlights AFC Women s Asian Cup

DPR Korea and Chinese Taipei go head to head in the Gold Coast Stadium with both sides desperate to make up for their Asian Cup quarterfinal exits by securing a ticket to next summer's World Cup in Brazil. DPR Korea looking to return to the World Cup for the first time since 2011, while it would be Chinese Taipei's first appearance back at the World Cup since 1991, so over three decades ago. For the last time, the Chinese Taipei found themselves on the big stage. The better start to the game. Belonging to the team all in white. DPR Korea, first chance for Rihak in the seventh minute and then the opening goal just past the half hour mark. Kim Kyung-yong with the cross. Song Ok with her 10th international goal. It's her 25th appearance for her country. And that's the halftime score as well. One goal cushion for DPR Korea heading into the second period of play where they would pick up exactly where they left off. It's a more dangerous side going forward, especially with crosses into the box and headers into the back of the net. Cho Il-sung with the delivery and Hong Song Ok with her second goal of the game. The double DPR Korea's lead. They weren't finished there. 52nd minute again, causing problems from wide areas. Ryong Jong with the cross to the back post. And it's another headed goal. Kim Kyung-yong with her fourth goal of the tournament. Her 30th goal, three appearances for her nation. An incredible return for the DPR Korea player. Just over 10 minutes later, her side powering forward again, this time looking for the bottom corner. A nice shot there from Cho Il-sung. Plenty of pace and power behind it as she tried it low. A fantastic stop from Chen Su-yue, keeps the score at just 3-0. The Chinese Taipei goalkeeper called into action again with an even better save in the 67th to deny Hwee Song Ok. Gets across brilliantly. Fingertip save, keeps it round the outside of the post. 68th minute, the pressure continuing from DPR Korea. Chance here inside the box. It's another save from Chen Su-yue, but can do nothing about the rebound. Does well to deny Ryong Jong initially. Can't stop Hong Song Ok from completing her hat-trick. And DPR now 4-0 up. Very little going forward from Chinese Taipei. Spending the entirety of the game on the back foot and defending. This their best chance though. 76th, Chen Yu-jin with one goal already at the tournament, but not this time as DPR Korea secure their place at the World Cup with a comfortable 4-0 victory, while Chinese Taipei must now qualify via the inter-confederation playoffs.
