South Korea's national soccer team describes 'rough' play and strange conditions in their World Cup qualifier against North Korea in Pyongyang.
South Korean national soccer team player Son Heung-min answers a reporter's question upon his arrival after the soccer match against North Korea, at Incheon International Airport in Incheon, South Korea, Thursday, Oct. 17, 2019. North Korea held South Korea to a 0-0 draw Tuesday in a World Cup qualifying soccer match played in an empty stadium in Pyongyang, but specific details of the game weren't immediately available.
Tottenham striker Son Heung-min said he would long remember the Pyongyang match as an unusual experience and claimed the South Korean players were lucky to avoid injury against the North Koreans, who he said were “very sensitive and rough.” North Korea kept out South Korean media and spectators and refused a live broadcast from the stadium.
“The opponents were very rough, and there were moments when very abusive language was exchanged,” Son said. “It was hard to concentrate on the match because you were thinking about avoiding injury first ... It’s an accomplishment that we returned from a game like that without injury.”
