After an exciting start to the match, both Japan and North Korea took the initiative to slow down.
However, both sides still created a few more good opportunities in the remaining minutes of the first half but neither side was able to capitalize on them.
After the break, Japan suddenly increased the speed of their attacks and confused North Korea.
In the 50th minute, from a cross from his teammate, Uchino rushed in and scored from close range to open the score for Japan.
Receiving an unexpected goal, North Korea immediately rose up to attack with the aim of bringing the match back to the starting line.
In the 73rd minute, Kim Kuk-bom dribbled the ball and shot from outside the penalty area into Japan's net.
But when the white team's spirit was high after the equalizer, they received a "cold shower" from their opponents.
In the 80th minute, Japan was awarded a penalty when one of their players was fouled by the North Korean goalkeeper in the penalty area.
On the 11m mark, Matsumura made no mistake to raise the score to 2-1 for Japan.
During the remaining time, North Korea tried very hard to attack but they could not penetrate the opponent's tight defense.
