S. Korea Women's Football Team Loses to N. Korea in Semi-Finals

North Korea beat South Korea in the women's football semi-finals Monday at the Incheon Asian Games. 
 
South Korean forward Jung Seol-bin fired the first shot in the 12th minute, but the North's Ri Ye-gyong tied the score in the 36th minute. Substitute Ho Un-byol scored the winning point in the last moments of the game to put North Korea in its second straight Asiad final at the Munhak stadium in Incheon.
 
A one-thousand strong cheering squad, made up of civic groups and religious organizations to cheer for both Koreas, held up a banner that read "One Korea! Unification Shoot Goal In!"
 
North Korea will vie for the gold against Japan, while South Korea will compete for the third-place finish with Vietnam on Wednesday.

The South Korean women's football team has lost eight straight times to North Korea. Its tally with the North stands at one win, one draw and 13 loss.
