Taiwan yesterday were thoroughly dominated in a 7-0 thrashing by North Korea at Fu Jen Catholic University Stadium in New Taipei City, while Brunei edged Hong Kong 2-1 in Group F qualifiers for next year’s Asian Football Confederation U16 Championship.
The result dropped Taiwan into fourth place in the five-team group with only one win from three matches, just ahead of winless Macau.
North Korea, with three wins out of three in which they have scored 26 goals, are assured of first place.
