<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: TTLakesRegular; font-size: 1em; margin-bottom: 14px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Al Ain: Almoez Ali was the star of the show on Sunday afternoon as he scored four and set up a fifth in Qatar’s 6-0 defeat of DPR Korea as Felix Sanchez’s side moved to the top of the Group E standings and into the knockout stage of the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="row" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: ttlakescondensed; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-xs-12" style="box-sizing: inherit; float: left; min-height: 1px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; position: relative; width: 1124.78px;">
<hr style="border-bottom: 0px; border-image: initial; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: content-box; height: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;" />
</div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: ttlakesregular; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The Al Duhail striker, now the tournament’s leading scorer with five goals in two games, shone as his partnership with Akram Afif down the left destroyed the DPR Korean defence repeatedly while Boualem Khoukhi and Abdelkarim Hassan also put their names on the scoresheet.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: ttlakescondensed; font-size: 16px; height: 3px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: ttlakesregular; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Victory means Sanchez’s side have secured themselves a top two finish in the group and their win also ensures Saudi Arabia will progress to the last 16. The teams face off on Thursday to determine who will top the group, with Qatar’s huge win meaning a draw in Abu Dhabi will be enough to take pole position.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: ttlakesregular; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">After labouring in the opening hour of their 2-0 win over Lebanon, Qatar were taking no chances against DPR Korea, with Sanchez restoring the influential Hassan to the starting line-up and the West Asian side possessed a greater level of urgency as a result.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">
<span style="color: white;"></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: ttlakesregular; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;">Within nine minutes the Qataris were in front as Afif glided past Sim Hyon Jin before delivering a low cross to Ali that he controlled with his right before stroking past Ri Myong Guk with his left.</span></span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">
<span style="color: white;"></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: ttlakesregular; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;">Two minutes later and Qatar doubled their lead, with the threat this time coming down the right. Hassan’s sweeping ball found Hassan Al Haydos, the Qatar captain, and his low centre gave Ali the perfect opportunity to strike from close range. Once again he was clinical, netting for the third time in the tournament.</span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">
<span style="color: white;"></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br />

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: ttlakesregular; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;">A string of yellow cards for Ri Un Chol, Jong Il Gwan and Ri Il Jin suggested DPR Korea were about to lose control, but eventually Kim Yong Jun’s side settled and almost pulled themselves back into the game. Ri Un Chol tried his luck from outside the area and his right foot drive only narrowly failed to find the top corner.</span></span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">
<span style="color: white;"></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><br />

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: ttlakesregular; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;">That, though, was to prove a brief bright spot in an otherwise disappointing half for DPR Korea. With just two minutes remaining, they found themselves further behind when Afif lifted the ball high over the advancing Ri Myung Guk and Khoukhi headed in from close range.</span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;"></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br />
</span></span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: ttlakesregular; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">Qatar refused to relent as they sought to boost their goal difference ahead of their crucial meeting with Saudi Arabia, with Ali completing his hat trick 10 minutes into the second half with an easy finish after Afif’s perfectly weighted through ball.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;"></span></span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: ttlakesregular; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The 22-year-old added further misery for DPR Korea five minutes later when he linked up again with Afif, who led a rapid-fire counterattack for the Qataris before rolling the ball through to Ali and he smashed his shot across Ri Myung Guk and inside the far post.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: white;">
</span></span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: ttlakesregular; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: none; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white;">Ali turned provider in the 68th minute when his pass allowed Hassan to storm through the DPR Korea defence and slot home Qatar’s sixth and the east Asian side’s misery was compounded in injury time when Jong Il Gwan was sent off for second bookable offence.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
NDO – Forward Tien Linh was on target as Vietnam were held to a 1-1 draw by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in a friendly football match at Hanoi’s My Dinh National Stadium on December 25.<br />
<br />
The Becamex Binh Duong striker put Vietnam in front ten minutes into the second half, only to see his efforts cancelled out a few minutes before the final whistle thanks to DPRK captain Jong Il Gwan.<br />
<br />
Coach Park Hang-seo maintained a number of players in Vietnam’s AFF Cup squad, including Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong and Van Hau, while testing some other faces, such as keeper Tuan Manh, defenders Thanh Chung and Tien Dung, midfielder Minh Vuong and forward Ngan Van Dai.<br />
<br />
The “Golden Dragons” enjoyed the first opportunity after just three minutes, but Tien Linh failed to produce a shot following a favourable pass from Minh Vuong in the penalty area.<br />
<br />
The guests successfully found the back of the net in the 24th minute as Jong Il Gwan took a through ball from a teammate and beat Vietnamese goalie Tuan Manh with an unstoppable strike; however, his goal was ruled offside by the referee.<br />
<br />
Vietnam created a few chances to break the deadlock in the last 15 minutes of the first half, but they were squandered by Minh Vuong and Xuan Truong who produced shots over the crossbar and narrowly off post, respectively.<br />
<br />
After half time, Park Hang-seo began to make change in terms of both lineup and tactics, as he put Duy Manh, Hung Dung, Que Ngoc Hai and Bui Tien Dung onto the field in replacement of Thanh Chung, Huy Hung, Van Hau and Tuan Manh (goalkeeper).<br />
<br />
The opening goal arrived for the “Golden Dragons” ten minutes into the second half, as Cong Phuong chipped a through ball to Tien Linh who dashed into the box and finished off DPRK goalie Ri Myong Guk to secure the advantage for the home side.<br />
<br />

With time running out, Vietnam created a few more clear-cut chances to double their lead, but none of them were converted into a goal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #231f20; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">

The waste of opportunities forced Park’s troops to pay deerly, as DPRK skipper Jong Il Gwan took advantage of the 82<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">nd</span>-minute freekick to equalise the score with an eye-catching curler towards the top corner.</div>

The friendly match against the DPRK at My Dinh Stadium is one of two international friendlies of the Vietnamese squad ahead of their 2019 Asian Cup mission. The “Golden Dragons” will “reunite” with the Philippines team in the other friendly in Qatar on December 31, before commencing their continental campaign with the opening match against Iraq on January 8.</div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Hong Kong needed to win to qualify for the Finals for the first time since 1968, but the visitors’ hopes were hit early by the loss of defender Helio Goncalves, who was replaced just 11 minutes into the game by Tong Kin-man after sustaining a knee injury.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="background-color: black; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;">The home side took command just seven minutes later when Jong’s strike beat Hong Kong’s Yapp Hung-fai from 25 yards, with the Hong Kong goalkeeper unable to keep the ball out despite putting a hand on the shot.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; height: 3px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: black; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;">Six minutes later DPR Korea doubled their advantage when left back Kim Chol-bom drilled the ball across the Hong Kong goal and Pak was on hand to steer his shot home from six yards out.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; height: 3px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: black; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;">Hong Kong finally sparked into life, with Alex Akande sending a pair of efforts just off target in the minutes before the half-time break, while second half substitute Lam Ka-wai gave the visitors some encouragement after his introduction.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: black; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">

Liu Chun-fai’s side was unable to find a way through the well-drilled DPR Korea defence and, with a little more than 10 minutes remaining, Ri Yong-jik almost added a third for the hosts only for his long-distance lob to just miss the target.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: inline; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white;">On that occasion they finished second in their group behind Korea Republic after a spirited and crucial 1-1 draw in Pyongyang, but Kim Kwang-min’s team gained a measure of revenge with a 1-0 win in Chiba, which puts them on the top of the standings with one match remaining.</span></div>

Buriram: Kim Yu-song netted a first-half hat-trick as DPR Korea beat Malaysia 4-1 for the second time in four days to go clear in second spot in Group B of the AFC Asian Cup 2019 Qualifiers at the I-Mobile Stadium in Buriram, Thailand on Monday.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The Koreans had dismissed the challenge of Malaysia 4-1 in Friday’s first match of a double header in neutral Thailand, and it was just as easy second time around for Joern Andersen’s side against a Malaysian team that featured eight changes to the starting lineup.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The only action of note in a frantic opening 10 minutes came when Pak Kwang-ryong’s 25-yard free-kick sailed over Hafizul Hakim’s crossbar in the sixth minute. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
But it was a very familiar looking goal that saw DPR Korea take the lead after just 15 minutes.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Jong Il-gwan’s corner from the left was headed home by Kim <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">(pictured above)</em>, the same combination that had put them 2-0 up on Friday.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Five minutes later, DPR Korea went two ahead from another corner. This time, Jong crossed from the right and Pak’s flick-on found Kim, who netted from six yards out. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Shell-shocked Malaysia struggled to get into the game, and Ri Myong-guk was having a very quiet night in the DPR Korea goal.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Kim struck again just before the half-time whistle to complete his hat-trick as he turned in Sim Hyon-jin’s cross from the right. </div>
<div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
There was little in the way of goalmouth action in the second half as the Koreans were happy to consolidate their lead, while damage limitation suited Malaysia.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
But Pak piled on the misery for Malaysia when he tapped in Ri Un-chol’s cross to make it 4-0 to DPR Korea in the 79th minute.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Safawi Rasid responded with a fine strike for Malaysia in the 85th minute, but it was too little, too late as Nelo Vingada’s men fell out of contention for qualification.</div>

Korea were head and shoulders better than their Malaysian counterparts and could have won by a bigger margin had their finishing been better.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">
This was the win that North Korea were looking for after a 5-0 mauling that they received at the hands of Lebanon in their last match in the group. Pak Kwang Ryong opened the scoring early in the first half which was then followed by goals from Kim Yu Song, Kim Yong Il and Jong Il Gwan. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">
Malaysia did pulled one back in the second half through a Safawi Rasid strike but North Korea regained their composure to snuff out any hope of a comeback. Head coach Jorn Andersen praised his team's performance after the match, claiming that they were the far superior side in the match.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">
"For my team, it was a good concentrated game from the beginning. We tried to start in high tempo, to press them, to disrupt them and to attack them. And I think the first half was really good."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">
"I think the early goal was very important. After this penalty, we still maintain the pressure. Always important to take the first goal but you can see which team was better today. Which team want to play football today and which team want to attack today and that was DPR Korea. I don't see Malaysia team in front of our goal in the first half," said Andersen.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">
The 54-year-old Norwegian was glad that his team came away with a win after recent negative results. The former Mainz 05 manager also opened up on how the rearrangement of the fixture had also impacted on his team.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">
"Of course it's stressful to see the game postponed three times and we don't get to play at home against Malaysia but the situation is that and we have to play both games here. We win the first game and we're very satisfied."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">
"This game gave us some confidence. It's our first win in a long time. It's very important for us to take the victory today to show the people that we can play good football," added Andersen.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: "Proxima Nova", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px;">

Buriram: Thailand: DPR Korea breathed new life into their AFC Asian Cup qualifying campaign on Friday evening with a 4-1 victory over Malaysia in Group B.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
First-half strikes from Pak Kwang-ryong and Kim Yu-song put Joern Andersen’s side in control before Kim Yong-Il and Jong Il-gwan added two more after the break. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Safawi Rasid’s late consolation was not enough to prevent the Malaysians becoming isolated at the bottom of the group on one point.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The result takes DPR Korea level with second-placed Hong Kong ahead of the second encounter with Malaysia on Monday.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
After a scrappy opening, DPR Korea took the upper hand and won a penalty in the 11th minute.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Saudi Arabian referee Fahad Adwan Almirdasi ruled that Malaysia skipper Fadhli Shas had handled Ri Yong-jik’s cross from the left. Pak side footed home the spot kick to put his team in front.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Dominant DPR Korea almost added a second in the 34th minute when Pak Kwang-ryong smashed a 25-yard drive against the bar. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
And there was nearly an embarrassing moment for Wan Zack Haikal when his back pass from inside the Korean half evaded Hafizul Hakim in the Malaysia goal and bounced off the post. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
But DPR Korea increased their lead as Kim glanced home Jong's free-kick from the left in the 42nd minute. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Jong was the provider again as DPR Korea made it 3-0 just three minutes into the second half. Yong Il seized upon a cross from the left and fired into the roof of the net. </span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The creator turned scorer in the 59th minute when Jong curled home a free-kick from just outside the box.</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Malaysia scored a consolation in the 67th minute when Rasid smashed the ball high into the net from a tight angle after good work from Nazmi Faiz on the left.</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Burinam: DPR Korea and Malaysia both need wins when they face off in a Group B match at the I-Mobile Stadium later on Friday to keep their Asian Cup 2019 hopes alive.</div>
<div class="field field-name-field-art-full-text field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden in-tfull">

<div class="field-item even">
Malaysia head coach Nelo Vingada is confident his side will end their winless run against DPR Korea.<br />
Malaysia currently sit at the bottom of Group B with one point from three matches. Their 2-0 loss against Hong Kong last month has put them in a difficult spot.<br />
Vingada's men will need at least four points from their next two matches to stay in contention, but a trip to Group B leaders Lebanon in March will be a daunting task.<br />
<br /><br />
Malaysia will be without captain Safiq Rahim, who is suspended after picking up a red card against Hong Kong.<br />
“I cannot reveal my new captain. I have three candidates for the responsibility,” said Vingada.<br />
“We still have a chance to fight for the second spot behind Lebanon, who are near certain to qualify, for an automatic berth. My players are ready. I have done all I can and now it is up to them to fight hard for the three points," he added.<br />
DPR Korea coach Jorn Andersen said: "This is the third time we are preparing for this first round match against Malaysia. We studied Malaysia comprehensively when we were getting ready for the encounters in March and later October before they were postponed.<br />
"This will be a good time to play them since they will be without their captain (Rahim) and defender Aidil Zafuan Radzak."<br />
DPR Korea lost their last match against Lebanon 5-0 and are third in Group B with two points.<br />
Andersen's men have not won this year, and a win against their opponents on Friday and the return leg on Monday in the neutral venue of Burinam, will put them back on track to qualify for the Finals.<br />

Pyongyang: Lebanon grabbed a late equaliser as they snatched a 2-2 AFC Asian Cup qualification draw against DPR Korea in a high quality encounter at the Kim Il Sung Stadium in Pyongyang. </div>
</div>

<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
With boisterous home support DPR Korea took a deserved first-half lead through Kim Yu-song before defender Nour Mansour equalising early in the second-half. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
But late drama was assured thanks to a Ri Yong-jik's low strike before an injury time goal from Hassan Maatouk salvaged a last gasp point. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
The draw keeps Lebanon on top of Group B but still leaves DPR Korea, who have played fewer games, with many positives to take from a spirited and high tempo encounter. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Former Norway international Jorn Andersen, only the DPR Korea's second ever foreign coach, has enjoyed a good start to his campaign in Pyongyang. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Under him the Chollima had only lost once, but the team's momentum was checked somewhat when their AFC Asian Cup qualifier against Malaysia was postponed twice earlier this year. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
The Kim Il Sung stadium was almost full an hour before kick-off as tens of thousands and schoolchildren in white shirts, red ties and pin badges of the Dear Leader filled the stands. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
But it was Lebanon, now under Montenegrin coach Miodrag Radulovic, that started the brighter. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
After a series of raids down the left by captain Maatouk, midfielder Rabih Ataya blasted over from close range when he should have done better. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
DPR Korea came back into it with striker Pak Kwang-ryong intimidating The Cedars back line, whose cause was helped by some superb free kick routines, one of which brought a stunning save from Mehdi Kahlil in the Lebanese goal. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
But DPR Korea would eventually find a way past and take the lead from the resulting corner, a looping header from Kim Yu-song. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Kahlil kept Lebanon in the match until half time, as the team seemed to struggle at times playing on the Kim il Sung stadium's artificial pitch. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Yet almost as soon as the second-half started, Lebanon was level, defender Mansour pouncing in the box and blasting in at close range. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Andersen, an animated figure in all black on the touchline, made all three substitutions by the 66th minute in an attempt to change the flow of the game. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
But despite taking up some good positions, Lebanon - who look a different, more expansive team under Radulovic - looked dangerous on the break, Ali Hamam blasting over as a bevy of teammates swarmed into the box. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Just as the game was running out of time, DPR Korea struck. A hopeful ball into the Lebanese box caused chaos and rebounded out to midfielder Ri Yong-jik who blasted it past Khalil and sending the crowd into raptures. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
Shortly afterwards Lebanon defender Maher Sabra, who was on the bench, was shown a red card after an ugly confrontation with a member of his own coaching staff. </div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
But just as The Cholima thought they had done enough, a late free kick from Maatouk was swung in, somehow evading everyone before sneaking inside Ri Myong-guk's left hand post.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Bengaluru: 4.25 SC Captain An Il-bom has emphasised the importance of working together as the forward prepares to lead the DPR Korea club out against JSW Bengaluru in the first leg of the AFC Cup Inter-Zone semi-final on Wednesday.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">An wore the skipper’s armband as tournament debutants 4.25 progressed to the knockout rounds, scoring twice in the group stage to pip compatriots Kigwancha SC to top spot in the Group I standings.</span></div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">But it was his strike partner Kim Yu-song who grabbed most the headlines in netting a competition-leading nine goals in just four games as the Pyongyang-based club qualified for the next stage at the first time of asking.</span></div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“Kim Yu-song is a really good player,” An told <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">the-AFC.com</em></strong> ahead of training at a saturated Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Tuesday evening.</span></div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“He’s our striker, he does a really good job and I think for the match he’ll be at his best.</span></div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“But we’re a team and not about the individual players. Everyone has to try their best to work well together and then we can get a good result.”</span></div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">After going off in 4.25’s opening-day win over Mongolia’s Erchim FC, An did not play again until his side’s third match – a 2-2 draw with Kigwancha in the Pyongyang derby.</span></div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Trailing 2-0 with 20 minutes to play, the 26-year-old pulled one back before striker Kim scored deep into stoppage time with a goal that would ultimately send 4.25 through thanks to a marginally better head to head against Kigwancha.</span></div>
<div class="rtejustify" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">An added another to his tally in a 5-0 victory over Erchim in their fourth and final Group I game to confirm top spot and be crowned East Asia Zonal champions.</span></div>
