Naegohyang W Overwhelm Ayeyawady W With Seven-Goal Home Rout
PYONGYANG (Interstat)—Naegohyang W produced a commanding home performance on Sunday, scoring seven unanswered goals against Ayeyawady W (Mya) W in a one-sided global football match. The hosts controlled possession and turned sustained pressure into a lopsided result, improving their competition record to one win and no losses and their overall record to two wins and no losses. Ayeyawady W (Mya) W fell to no wins and one loss in the competition and no wins and one loss across all competitions. The visitors struggled to contain Naegohyang W’s movement and were reduced to chasing the game after a first-half yellow card to May Thet Mon Myint. Naegohyang W set the tone early and rarely allowed the visitors to settle, with the booking adding to Ayeyawady’s first-half difficulties. The hosts’ pressure paid off just before the break and continued after halftime.
Ri Kuk-Hyang broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute, finishing a move that had stretched Ayeyawady’s defense. The goal came shortly after May Thet Mon Myint was booked in the 42nd minute, a moment that underlined the visitors’ difficulty slowing the hosts. Yu Jong Ri doubled the advantage in first-half stoppage time, scoring in the 45th-plus-first minute to cap a dominant opening period. Yu was central to Naegohyang W’s attack throughout and finished with one goal and two assists. Naegohyang W kept pressing after the interval, and Kum Jong added a third in the 52nd minute.
Kim Kyong-Yong also scored before she was substituted in the 77th minute, extending the hosts’ control as Naegohyang W rotated its attack. Choe Yon-A, who entered the match and played 25 minutes, struck in the 81st minute and again in the 90th-plus-sixth minute, giving her two goals in a short but decisive shift. Choe Kum-Ok, limited to 13 minutes, scored in the 90th-plus-fourth minute. Pak Hyon-Jong played the full 90 minutes and recorded an assist, while Ro Un-Hyang and Ri Myong-Gum each contributed an assist in 44 minutes. Naegohyang W made halftime changes involving Kim Hye-Yong, Kim U-J. and Ri S., then brought on Song-ok K. in the 65th minute and replaced Kim Kyong-Yong in the 77th. Ayeyawady W (Mya) W made substitutions at the 40th, 46th, 71st and 82nd minutes, including the removal of May Thet Mon Myint at the start of the second half, but could not disrupt Naegohyang W’s rhythm. Nwe T. entered in the 40th minute, Marlar Tun K. and May Thet Mon Myint followed in the 46th, Fujii H. came on in the 71st and Phyu Phyu Win entered in the 82nd.
The decisive stretch came around the hour mark and late in the second half, when Naegohyang W turned a two-goal lead into an emphatic rout. After Yu Jong Ri’s first-half stoppage-time goal made it two, Kum Jong’s 52nd-minute strike and Kim Kyong-Yong’s goal before her 77th-minute substitution removed any doubt. Choe Yon-A then closed the match with two late finishes, including the final goal in the 90th-plus-sixth minute. Naegohyang W’s ability to generate goals from starters and substitutes alike defined the contest, while Ayeyawady W (Mya) W never found a response and finished with zero goals. The visitors’ best spell came before the opening goal, but the booking and Ri Kuk-Hyang’s finish shifted momentum. Naegohyang W’s substitutes kept the attack sharp, and the late goals reflected the hosts’ continued control even as the match moved into stoppage time.
