The win also earned the East Asian side their ticket to the FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup Colombia 2024, finishing second in Group A on six points behind Australia, who beat Chinese Taipei 3-0 for their third win of the campaign. <\/p>\n
Needing a win to be absolutely sure of their knockout stage berth, Korea Republic went in front after eight minutes when Hong Chae-bin put away a rebound after Yang Eun-seo\u2019s initial shot had been blocked, with Eun-seo then doubling their lead two minutes later with a grounder that bounced on the wet surface past Fotima Bakhriddinova.<\/p>\n
Uzbekistan were further punished in the 20th minute when Leyla Oraniyazova\u2019s decision to hold onto the ball in her own penalty box saw a poor touch that set up Kim Ji-hyeon (pictured below, left) for an easy finish into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n
It became 4-0 two minutes later as another Oraniyazova mistake in sending the ball back towards her own goalmouth was pounced on by Chae-bin, who applied an accurate finish beyond Bakhriddinova.<\/p>\n
A great switch in play from the right to the left in the 34th minute released Hwang Da-yeong, who beat her first marker before laying the ball on for Chae-bin to complete her hat-trick with Hwang adding a sixth in first half added time. <\/p>\n
Head coach Park Youn-jeong made three changes after the interval but Korea Republic continued to have a stranglehold on the game, increasing their lead through Eun-seo in the 49th minute followed by their eighth via Da-yeong in the 61st minute.<\/p>\n
Eun-seo completed her hat-trick in the 66th minute and four minutes later, Korea Republic hit double figures when Ko Eun-bin\u2019s corner kick delivery found Nam Seung-eun, who finished with a towering header<\/p>\n
Uzbekistan replaced goalkeeper Bakhriddinova with Ezoza Sevinova and the latter\u2019s first action was to unfortunately pick the ball out of her net after Kang Eun-young produced a rocket from outside the box straight into the top corner.<\/p>\n
Korea Republic completed the emphatic win with further goals from Eom Mink-young (83rd) and Jeon Yu-gyeong (89th) and now await to know their semi-final opponents. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
