Editor’s Note: Every day from now until the start of the first match of the tournament 2023 Women’s World Cup On July 20, FOX Sports is counting down the most memorable moments in the 32-year history of the tournament.
North Korea reached the knockout stages of the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup in China despite winning only one match and losing their last match in the group stage thanks to Ri Un-suk’s superb goal against Sweden. .
After a daring quick free-kick that gave Ri Un-suk plenty of room to operate on the flanks, she sent the ball to the edge of the box, where four Swedish defenders were waiting, and shot the ball powerfully.
That goal wasn’t the difference between a win and a loss for North Korea, but it did make the difference in the goal difference column, which was what eventually sent North Korea into the round of 16 against Sweden. .
