North Korea solidified its status as a women’s soccer powerhouse by winning the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup for the second consecutive year on Sunday, trouncing the Netherlands by 3-0 after an undefeated tournament run. The DPRK team dominated the final match at Rabat Olympic Stadium in Morocco with 23 attempts on goal to the Dutch side’s four. Kim Won Sim, Pak Rye Yong and Ui Gyong Ri each scored a goal for North Korea. “I don’t think we could have beaten them,” Dutch coach Olivier Amelink reportedly said, acknowledging “the gap” between the two teams.
