China Beat North Korea 2-1 to Top Group B at Women's Asian Cup
China secured top spot in Group B with a VAR-awarded goal in a 2-1 win over North Korea, who will meet hosts Australia in the quarterfinals.
- In Sydney on Monday, China women's national team beat North Korea women's national team 2-1 after Wang Shuang's VAR-awarded first-half goal, securing top spot in Group B.
- Both teams had already secured quarterfinal berths with two wins apiece, while China, the nine-time Women's Asian Cup champion, is guided by ex-Australia women’s coach Ante Milicic.
- North Korea opened the scoring when Kim Kyong-Yong finished a counter move in the 32nd minute, but China responded two minutes later as Chen Qiaozhu struck from outside the box to level the game.
- With that outcome, North Korea finish as Group B runners-up and face tournament hosts Australia in Perth on Friday, while China meets the Group C runner-up, likely Vietnam or Chinese Taipei.
- VAR controversy erupted when the reversal awarding Wang's goal sparked protests, North Korean players refused to finish the half, coach Ri Song Ho was yellow-carded, and Choe Il-Son's offside goal was ruled in rainy, physical conditions.
