Event Highlights

Intercontinental Cup 2019 LIVE Score and Updates:  India are 3-0 down as the North Korea skipper scored from a freekick and the third again with a perfect header into the far corner. For the second goal, North Korea danced right through the Indian defence as Sim Hyon Ji smartly slotted the ball into the far corner. This after a rather humiliating loss to Tajikistan in their opening match at the TransStadia Arena in Ahmedabad. The encounter will be a crucial one for both sides in their bid to enter the final after North Korea suffered a 2-5 defeat against Syria in their opening fixture.

Sunil Chhetri, who scored two goals in India's 2-4 loss in the opening game against Tajikistan, said that the whole team was working hard to bounce back from the defeat and stressed on the importance of keeping calm. "We need to learn from all the mistakes in the Tajikistan game and try to rectify them as much as possible. Individually, as well as collectively, we are all working hard on that. The most important thing is to keep calm and put your head down and work," he said.

Jong Il Gwan Scores Again! The North Korea skipper rises high and heads it into the back of the net. No marking and the player gets a free header inside the box and that too from open play. India's defending tonight is leaving a lot to be desired.

Will be needing more of this tonight...

India's attacks have been few and far in between. The passing game introduced by Igor Stimac, mean that the lapses in defence and the miscalculations in attack will happen. All about getting used to it. But for now, India are yet to test the opposition keeper.

Sim Hyon Ji Scores! Indian defence is cut open as Amrinder has no chance. The Koreans have been far better on the ball and their one-touch passes costing India dearly. 

Meanwhile, Adil Khan starts his warm-up in the aftermath of the goal! Udanta and Changte join him.

India have never beaten North Korea. History needs to be made tonight for the hosts to keep their campaign alive. Sandesh Jhingan's presence in the back-line will reassure the Indian fans, especially after the last game.

"No one else is going to help you, which means we have to pick ourselves up and give a good account of ourselves against DPR Korea to churn out a positive result," Chhetri said at the pre-match press conference.

18-year-old Amarjit Singh Kiyam, who was handed his senior team debut by coach Stimac at the King's Cup 2019 in Thailand, mentioned that the team is "extremely focused" and added that he hopes the fans will continue to support the team as they did in the previous encounter.

He said, "The whole team is extremely focused on the match against DPR Korea. What's done is done and we are not thinking about the loss to Tajikistan. We have been working hard so as to not repeat the mistakes we made. We want to play even better and I hope we get the support of the fans in the stadium once again."



Centre-back Adil Khan, who made his comeback to the national team under coach Stimac, spoke about how there is a "healthy competition for places" in the side and that the main goal for the team is to do well in the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

"Our ultimate aim is to do well in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The coach is looking at many players in the squad to settle on his best 11 and there is a good competition for places. For the match against DPR Korea, we are preparing well and know that we have to do our best," he said.
