North Korea went up against Niger in their opening Group D match of the FIFA U-17 World Cup at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Saturday night. When a North Korean team takes part in an international sporting event, it draws plenty of curious observers. North Korea’s preparation was shrouded in secrecy to such an extent that until their football federation submitted the name of its new head coach with the 21-member players’ list, it wasn’t clear who had replaced their banned head coach Yun Jong-su. But the match went in favour of unfancied Niger when Salim Abdourahmane scored the winning in the second half. Get full football score and highlights of North Korea vs Niger here.
