DPR Korea have taught the Nigerians what the quality of Dark Horses is, leading the scoreline with two goals at halftime in a World Cup Group B match here late on Friday.
Midfielder Kim Kyong Hwa made breakthrough for the twice former Asian champions, swinging in a superb left corner directly in the 17th minute.
Just four minutes later, Kim launched another corner, and uncautioned skipper Ri Kum Suk came up to the ball from far point to head in the second for the Koreans, who stunned twice world cup winners the United States with a 2-2 draw in Tuesday's opening match of the arguable Group of Death.
Compared with the other Group B match earlier on the day, the DPR Korea vs Nigeria game went on a more physical way, with the Koreans' midfielder Kim Kyong Hwa and forward and captain Ri Kum Suk respectively being forced out of the ground in the 35th and 38th minute after challenges with rival players.
