Giochi Asiatici: La beffa arriva al 121esimo!
Una gara avvincente, combattuta da entrambi le parti con grande grinta e agonismo, decisa all’ultimo giro di lancette da un gol di Rim Chang-woo su calcio d’angolo. Questo è stato il derby tra le due Coree, finalissima dei Giochi Asiatici del 2014.
Alla fine dei conti la Corea del Sud ha avuto con più costanza il pallino del gioco, ma si è sempre schiantata su una difesa nordcoreana perfetta, guidata da un monumentale Jang Kuk-Chol e dal capitano Jang Song-hyok, praticamente perfetti. A centrocampo Ri Yong-Jik e Sim Hyon-Jin hanno lottato come leoni, mentre in attacco tutto il peso era sulle spalle di uno sfinito Pak Kwang-Ryong. Proprio quest’ultimo ha avuto l’occasione più ghiotta di tutta la gara, quando al 70 su calcio d’angolo ha colpito in terzo tempo centrando in pieno la traversa.
Per i ragazzi di mister Yun Jong-Su è stata esiziale l’assenza di Jong Il-Gwang (oltra a Kang Kuk-Chol infortunato) e soprattutto la stanchezza accumulata nella semifinale contro l’Iraq, durata 120 minuti.
Ma, in conclusione, una trasferta comunque trionfale, con un risultato insperato e la certezza di avere una giovane nidata di giocatori di grande prospettiva. Miscelata con i giocatori più esperti potrà regalare grandi soddisfazioni nella prossima Coppa d’Asia.

2014 Provincial Mass Sports Contest Opens
Pyongyang, October 1 (KCNA) — The 2014 provincial mass sports contest opened here on the occasion of the founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK).
The contest brought together masses of various circles including workers, peasants, office workers, school youth and children, kindergarteners and housewives, and sports persons selected in Pyongyang and provinces (cities under central authority).
They will compete in mass sports and amusement games.
An opening ceremony took place at the Kim Il Sung Stadium on Wednesday.
Present there were Choe Ryong Hae, secretary of the Central Committee of the WPK who is chairman of the State Physical Culture and Sports Guidance Commission, officials concerned, players and cheer-leading squad members from provinces, Pyongyangites, youth and students.
Choe Ryong Hae made an opening address.
He said Marshal Kim Jong Un has taken a series of state measures to put the country’s sports on a mass basis, thus making sure that the whole country is being swept by a hot wind of sports.
He underlined the need for all the players to display at each game their high technique and teamwork ability and noble moral traits and thus contribute to the development of the country’s sports.
The ceremony was followed by a junior women’s football match between South Hamgyong Province and Rason City and athletic events.

Asian Games . Japan, DPR Korea to meet in final
Incheon: Defending champions Japan are through to the final at the 17th Asian Games after claiming a 3-0 win over Vietnam in Monday’s semi-finals.
In a game they dominated at the Incheon Football Stadium, the Japanese took the lead after 25 minutes when Mizuho Sakaguchi pounced on a loose ball and sent an emphatic finish into the back of the net, after Dang Thi Kieu Trinh could only punch Aya Miyama’s cross into her path.
Despite creating plenty of chances, they were however unable to add to their lead largely owing to some poor finishing, as well as a nervy but effective display from opposition keeper Dang.
Still, they did make it 2-0 eight minutes into the second half when Kana Kitahara did well to keep things alive after an earlier shot has smashed off the bar; hooking the ball back into the danger zone for Kita Osafune to emphatically head home.
And in the 74th minute, the result was put beyond doubt as Yuka Sugasawa made a darting run to the near post to escape her opponent before meeting another dangerous delivery from Miyama with a deft header past Dang for her side’s third.
With the win, Japan are through to the final for the second tournament running and it will be a repeat of the 2010 final after DPR Korea also advanced with a 2-1 triumph over neighbours Korea Republic.
It was the South Koreans that drew first blood at the Incheon Munhak Stadium in the 12th minute when Jung Seol-bin lined up a 25-yard freekick and unleashed a powerful effort, which dipped awkwardly just before the goal-line and squirmed in under Hong Myong-hui’s despairing dive.
But six minutes after the half-hour mark, DPR Korea pulled level after they cleverly carved out an opening; Ri Ye-gyong meeting a low cross from the right with a deft touch to steer the ball into the far corner.
With both sides failing to find a second goal in the second period, it looked like extra-time – and perhaps penalties – would be on the cards.
Nonetheless, in the third minute of injury-time, a poor back-header by Korea Republic’s Lim Seon-joo played Ra Un-sim through and although her initial effort was saved by Kim Jung-mi, substitute Ho Un-byol was on hand to slot home the rebound and win it for the North Koreans.
The final between Japan and DPR Korea will be held at the Incheon Munhak Stadium on Wednesday evening, while the bronze medal match between Korea Republic and Vietnam will also be played earlier that day.

Asian Games: North Korea coach blasts football refs
INCHEON, South Korea – North Korea coach Yun Jong-Su attacked refereeing bias at the Asian Games football and warned that Thursday’s gold medal showdown with South Korea must be “fairly” handled.
Yun protested at decisions made during the Stalinist state’s semi-final win over Iraq. “We hope the final is refereed fairly. If so, we will fight fairly and squarely,” he said.
The North, bidding to win the gold medal for the first time since sharing it with the South in 1978, beat Iraq 1-0 in extra time to reach the final, but Yun was still seething about the officiating on Wednesday.
“Did you people see the match against Iraq yesterday?” he fumed at a news conference, still upset at the red card shown to star striker Jong Il-Gwan moments after scoring his side’s winner against Iraq, his fifth goal of the tournament.
“What did you make of it?” he added rhetorically, before continuing his rant. “Correct calls are an essential part of fair play, but things are not like that here.” Yun’s preemptive strike before a potentially explosive clash in Incheon were apparently designed to ensure South Korea do not receive any extra help from the officials in a game which will be played just 120 miles (195km) from the border.
“There were a lot of bad calls in the match yesterday,” he growled, referring to his side’s hard-fought victory over Iraq, which also saw defender Kang Kuk-Chol stretchered off in the first minute.
“Perhaps the referees can’t see things from a distance, but he failed to see things happened when he was close to the play. We hope the final is refereed fairly. If so, we will fight fairly and squarely.” Thursday’s clash between the rival Koreas will be one of the highlights of the Games, particularly as the South is hosting the event and is desperate for sporting success.
North and South Korea have remained technically in a state of war since their 1950-53 conflict which ended in a truce with no peace treaty.
