SEOUL – Political tensions failed to prevent an inter Korean women’s football (soccer) match from going ahead in Seoul on Sunday –– the first time in eight years the two teams had met.
The North Koreans went on to win 2-1 after a well-fought match in front of a small but enthusiastic crowd. Seoul’s World Cup Stadium was just 10% full, with only 6500 spectators turning out to cheer on the Korean derby.
