Port Moresby: DPR Korea began their FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Papua New Guinea 2016 campaign in impressive fashion on Sunday with a 2-0 win over European champions Sweden.
A goal from Ri Hyang-sim on 25 minutes and a Kim So-hyang strike just after the break proved to be the difference, amid warm conditions at the John Guise Stadium in Port Moresby.
In truth the East Asians were thoroughly deserved victors with their delivery from corners a constant threat, as was their short-passing game in attack.
