AFC U16: DERBY IN FINALE!

Sarà il derby Nord-Sud a decretare il vincitore del Campionato asiatico under-16.
I favoriti saranno i ragazzi del Sud, capaci di distruggere la Siria in semifinale con un devastante 7-1.
La RPDC ha dovuto invece sudare sette camicie per superare l’Australia.
Dopo il vantaggio firmato da Pak Yong-Gwan ad inizio secondo tempo, gli australiani hanno segnato il pareggio a cinque dal termine con Daniel Arzani.
Ci sono voluti i rigori e un grande Ri Chol-song, capace di parare due tiri degli oceanici per portare i nordcoreani in finale.

Bangkok: DPR Korea will face Korea Republic in the final of the AFC U-16 Championship after edging out Australia 4-1 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in Wednesday’s semi-final at Rajamangala Stadium.

With chances at a premium during a hard-fought contest, Park Yong-gwan’s strike just after half-time appeared to have secured victory for DPR Korea only for Australia substitute Daniel Arzani to equalise with five minutes remaining.

But with goalkeeper Ri Chol-song (pictured) saving from Jake Brimmer and Jackon Bandiera in the shootout, 2010 champions DPR Korea will face Korea Republic in Saturday’s final after the two-time winners earlier recorded a 7-1 win over Syria.

With a final meeting with Korea Republic on the line, DPR Kore made the more adventurous starts with Australia goalkeeper Duro Dragicevic kept busy as the custodian first needed two attempts to claim Choe Song-hyok’s long range effort after 26 minutes before denying Han Kwang-myong with his legs two minutes later.

Chances, though, remained at a premium in the opening 45 minutes with Australia struggling to find a way past a well-organised DPR Korea backline and goalkeeper Ri remained largely untested as Henry Davies’ long range effort in stoppage time underlining the Joeys’ frustrations.

But less than a minute into the second half DPR Korea opened the scoring as Kim Ye-bom’s pull back following a strong run down the right was met by Park and the on-rushing midfielder swept pass Dragicevic from inside the penalty area.

And DPR Korea almost doubled their lead five minutes later only for a superb one-handed reflex save from Dragicevic denying Choe after the striker had again found joy on the right before cutting into the area and firing a goal bound effort towards goal.

Despite failing behind, Australia continued to struggle in the final third and Brimmer sent a tame effort straight at Ri from just outside the penalty area with 22 minutes remaining.

But with five minutes remaining Australia drew level as Bandiera’s pull-back from the byline on the left was emphatically rifled low past Ri and into the bottom corner by substitute Arzani from the edge of the penalty area to send the tie to penalties.

DPR Korea, though, took an early lead in the shootout as Kim Wi-song and Kim Ye-bom converted either side of Ri saving from Brimmer.

Kye Francis did convert for Australia, but after Ri Kuk-hyon extended DPR Korea’s perfect record, Ri saved from Bandiera allowing Jang Song-il to seal the victory.

AFC U-16: avanti di prepotenza!

Con un 4-1 che non lascia spazio a recriminazioni, la Corea supera il Nepal e si guadagna il passaggio ai quarti di finale della manifestazione continentale.
Dopo 4 minuti Ju Hyon-hyok sblocca l’incontro e 19 minuti dopo Choe Song-hyok raddoppia. Al 27 il Nepal si riaffaccia con Tamang, ma dopo appena 60 secondi e di nuovo doppio vantaggio, grazie al gol di Han Kwang-song. Nel recupero del primo tempo è ancora Choe Song-hyok a porre la parola fine alla gara.
La ripresa è controllata dai coreani.
Nell’altra gara l’Uzbekistan regola 4-2 il Kuwait.

Fra due giorni tutti i quarti:
SudCorea-Giappone

AFC U-16 C’ship MD3: DPR Korea 4-1 Nepal

Bangkok: Former champions DPR Korea ensured a return to the quarter-finals of the AFC U-16 Championship as Group C runners-up after Thursday’s entertaining 4-1 win at Rajamangala Stadium ended Nepal’s hopes of a maiden appearance in the knockout stage.
Ju Hyun-hok and Choe Song-hyok handed 2010 champions DPR Korea a comfortable lead midway through the first half only for Ananta Tamang to respond for Nepal, who only needed a point to advance to the quarter-finals for the first time.
But with Han Kwang-song and Choe Song-hyok netting for DPR Korea before half-time, Yon Kwang-mu’s side claimed the win they needed to ensure a place in Sunday’s quarter-finals against Group D winners Iran after Uzbekistan beat Kuwait 4-2 to top Group C.
“At the beginning of the match we were cautious, but as the game went on I felt better, and as the result shows we won and I am happy. We will now go to next stage and I will try and make a plan to be successful in the next match,” said DPR Korea coach Yon.
“Iran are a strong team and I think this match will not go smoothly as I think our team is very strong, so I will make a plan to display our strong team spirit in the next match.
“As we go up to the next stage it will be more difficult, and as a coach I will carefully make a plan to make the players display their team spirit well.”
Nepal began the contest knowing they only needed a point to advance to the knockout stage for the first time following Tuesday’s win over Kuwait, while 2010 champions DPR Korea had to win to avoid a second consecutive group stage exit.
And DPR Korea made the ideal start as centre-back Ju was on hand to turn home a right-wing free-kick at the back post after just four minutes.
Nepal almost hit back eight minutes later, but after beating the DPR Korea offside trap, Belgium-based striker Bimal Gharti Magar fired straight at the legs of goalkeeper Ri Chol-song from inside the penalty area.
And with the end-to-end nature of the contest continuing, Han Kwang-song struck the foot of the Nepal post with a low drive from the edge of the area three minutes later with goalkeeper Roman Rasaili at full stretch.
But DPR Korea did double their lead after 23 minutes as Choe fired low past Rasaili from the edge of the six yard area after capitalising on a mistake from Amit Tamang.
Nepal, though, halved the deficit just three minutes later as Ananta Tamang met Amit Tamang’s free-kick from close to the near touchline with a glancing header at the near post to beat Ri.
But barely a minute later DPR Korea restored their two-goal advantage as Han created space for himself on the edge of the Nepal penalty area before guiding a low strike into the bottom corner past Rasaili.
And in the first minute of added time at the end of the opening 45 minutes, Choe’s diving header from Park Yong-gwan’s left-wing cross extended DPR Korea’s advantage.
Both sides continued to open nature of the contest in the second half and DPR Korea twice came close to adding to their lead either side of the hour mark only for Nepal goalkeeper to deny Jong Chang-bom.
But with neither side able to add to their first half tallies, Nepal saw their campaign ended after suffering a first defeat of the campaign.
“The boys tried hard, but we were not successful,” said Nepal coach Bal Gopal Maharjan.
“We didn’t play well in the first 20 minutes, but after that we were able to start to build. But we conceded silly goals and we were unable to follow our plan.
“We played well in the first two matches and maybe the players got excited about being able to qualify for the quarter-finals.”

AFC U-16 C’ship: Kuwait 0-3 DPR Korea


Bangkok: Han Kwang-song scored one and set-up another as DPR Korea climbed to the top of Group C after a comfortable 3-0 win over Kuwait in their AFC U-16 Championship opener at Muangthong Stadium on Sunday.

Han opened the scoring for the 2010 champions from the penalty spot in the fifth minute before teeing up Jong Chang-bom to double the lead in the 72nd minute.
And midfielder Choe Song-hyok added a third in the 82nd minute to complete a disappointing evening for Kuwait, who will now have to re-group for the second group game against Nepal on Tuesday.
“Our young players tried to show their full talent, but did not perform at their best. I am satisfied with the score, but we can play better,” said DPR Korea coach Yon Kwang-mu.
“Han is one of our best attacking players and he will show his talent in the future games. He had a minor injury, nothing serious, so I took him off to save him for the Uzbekistan game on Tuesday.”
DPR Korea got off to the best possible start when striker Han was hacked down inside the area by Kuwaiti captain Shabaib Al Khaldi, and after Malaysian referee Nagor Amir Noor Mohamed had pointed to the spot, the striker coolly dispatched the penalty low to the bottom left of goalkeeper Omar Mohammad.
The 2010 champions continued to dominate the opening stages, but 2012 quarter-finalists Kuwait had a penalty call of their own turned down by Malaysian official in the 22nd minute fouling a foul on forward Khaled Al Enezi.
DPR Korea, though, went soon back on the attack and Park Yong-gwan could have added a second on 25 minutes, but after skipping past defender Meshal Al Enezi, the midfielder fired his powerful right-footed drive directly at goalkeeper Mohammad.
Kuwait did start to come back into the game in the closing stages of the first half and 10 minutes before the break the lively Khaled Al Enezi beat defender Kim Wi-song for pace but failed to get enough behind his shot to steer the ball past DPR Korea goalkeeper Ri Chol-song.
DPR Korea then thought they had doubled their lead in the 39th minute only for Han’s strike to be ruled offside by the assistant referee.
But as the half drew to a close it was Kuwait who were on top and Khaled Al Enezi again found himself with a sight of goal when he was beautifully played through by defender Abdalla Al Booshy, but the powerful frontman scuffed his shot and gave Ri an easy save.
DPR Korea had the better of the opening stages of the second half and the dangerous Han found himself through on goal once more in the 53rd minutes only for Mohammad to narrow the angle well and block his goalbound effort.
And Mohammad again kept his side within touching distance by again denying Han after the striker had broken through the Kuwaiti defence as DPR Korea continued to dominate despite creating little in terms of clear-cut chances.
But the game was effectively over as a contest seconds later when Park chipped the ball to Han inside the area and the striker squared the ball for strike partner Jong to tap home in the 73rd minute.
Han was then substituted in the 81st minute, but DPR Korea showed no sign of missing their talisman and just 60 seconds later Choe skipped past Al Khaldi and fired an unstoppable shot into the roof of the net from 12 yards out to seal the win.
“We played a good game, but we made some mistakes. This is normal because we are a young team,” said Kuwait coach Ibrahim Al Shammari.
“We created chances, but ended up losing 3-0.”

AFC U16: eliminati dal Giappone

Superati con un netto 3-0 dal Giappone, i ragazzi under-16 coreani sono costretti ad abbandonare il torneo fin dal girone eliminatorio.
Il girone D, vero e proprio girone di ferro con Arabia Saudita, SudCorea e Giappone, si è rivelato troppo forte per la nazionale della RPDC, che arrivava al torneo da campione in carica.
Oltre ai nipponici hanno passato il turno i sudcoreani.

Mondiale Under-17 femminile: buon pareggio contro la Francia (1-1, Ri Un-Sim e Diani), che permette alle ragazze di Hwang Yong Bong di mantenere il primo posto del girone, a pari merito con gli Stati Uniti (che hanno vinto 6-0 contro il Gambia). Nell’ultima sfida del girone (sabato 29) contro le americane, basterà un pareggio, sperando in una dignitosa prestazione della difesa gambese (deve subire meno di 11 reti..) per passare il turno.

AFC U16: riscatto per i giovani allenati da Paek Kil-Song che superano per 2-1 i sauditi (reti di RI RYONG e RI KWANG-SONG), raggiungendo a 3 punti il Giappone (battuto 3-1 dai sudcoreani). Tutto si deciderà nella sfida di giovedì contro i nipponici.

Due partenze in senso opposto

Mondiale femminile Under-17:
partenza folgorante per le giovani coreane che surclassano il Gambia con 11 reti.
Mattatrici Ri Un-Sim, Ri Hyang-Sim e Ri Kyong-Hyang con 3 reti.

Questi i gol:
Choe Yun-Gyong 18′
Ri Un-Sim 19′, 31′ (pen.), 34′
Ri Kyong-Hyang 20′, 63′, 77′
Kim Phyong-Hwa 44′
Kim So-Hyang 68′
Ri Hyang-Sim 87′, 90+1′

Nell’altra sfida del girone: Francia-Usa 0-0

Campionato asiatico under-16
Brutta partenza per l’U16 che subisce un duro 3-0 nel derby contro la SudCorea. Decisiva la tripletta di Hwang Hee-Chan.
Si complica ora il girone per i campioni in carica, nel quale il Giappone ha superato 2-0 l’Arabia Saudita.
