Bellejo Keeps Top of Group With 0-0 Draw With North Korea

First of all, they maintained their first place in the group.

 

The women's national soccer team, led by head coach Colin Bell, drew 0-0 without scoring in the second Group B match of the women's soccer qualifying round for the 2024 Paris Olympics at Xiamen Gret Stadium in China on the 29th.

 

The national team, which had a great 10-1 victory over Thailand in the first round, tied the match against North Korea in the second round and occupied an advantage for now. He remained atop in the group with one win and one draw (four points). The national team (+9) is ahead of North Korea (+1) in goal difference. In the second qualifying round, the three first-place teams in each group and one of the second-place teams in each group will advance to the third qualifying round.

 

The national team, which lost 1-4, sought revenge due to a series of dubious referee decisions that met in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. Casey and Chun Ga-ram, who achieved hat tricks side by side against Thailand, were at the forefront of the attack on the same day. The national team has rarely penetrated North Korea's defense. He struggled under strong pressure, and the offensive development was not smooth. In the 28th minute of the first half, Ji So-yeon's right-footed mid-range shot went off the post.

 

Coach Bell made a change in the 6th minute of the second half by taking out Casey and putting in Son Hwa-yeon. In particular, goalkeeper Jungmi Kim defended North Korea's wave offensive one after another to prevent a loss. In the end, the two teams failed to score and shared one point each. 스포츠토토
