It was simply a humiliating defeat.

The South Korean U-20 women's national soccer team suffered a helpless defeat to North Korea. South Korea, led by head coach Park Yoon-jung, was completely defeated by North Korea 0-5 in the third Group B match of the 2026 Asian Football Confederation U-20 Women's Asian Cup at Patum Thani Stadium in Thailand on the 8th (Korea time).

The humiliation was not just a score of five goals. South Korea did not score a single shot in 90 minutes on the day. On the other hand, he allowed as many as 32 shower shots. In the official competition organized by AFC, a game that left a humiliating record of "shooting number 0-32" came out.

As the number of shots suggests, it was completely behind in terms of the content of the game. South Korea's ball possession rate was only 32.3% on the day, and in particular, the winning rate of aerial ball competition was 20.8% for South Korea and 79.2% for North Korea.

The number of passes was 217 for South Korea and 428 for North Korea, which was about twice the difference. South Korea's pass success rate was only 41.5 percent, far behind North Korea's 77.3 percent. The number of crosses was only one for South Korea and 33 for North Korea.

The balance of zero continued with Kim Chae-bin (Gwangyang Girls' High School)'s good defense until the middle and second half of the first half, but South Korea collapsed after losing the first goal to Kang Ryu-mi in the 37th minute of the first half. He allowed Park Ok to score consecutive goals in the 45th minute of the first half and 1 minute of extra time, finishing the first half trailing 0-3.

Even in the third minute of the second half, the opponent's corner kick led to a loss, and the victory was tilted early, losing up to the fifth goal in three minutes. Since then, South Korea has fallen helplessly without recording a single shot, let alone a comeback goal.

At least, South Korea reached the quarterfinals of the tournament as the second place in Group B after North Korea, and met with Thailand, the host country. Earlier, South Korea beat Uzbekistan 2-0 and Jordan 2-1. The quarterfinals of the tournament between Korea and Thailand will be held at Thammasat Stadium in Thailand at 10 p.m. on the 12th. If South Korea beats Thailand and reaches the semifinals, it will compete with the winner of the North Korea-Australia match for the finals. In some cases, another inter-Korean match may be made in the semifinals.

The semifinals of this tournament will qualify for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Poland this September. South Korea will try to advance to the World Cup for the third time in a row following the 2022 Costa Rica (Group League) and 2024 Colombia (Group Round of 16).
