MYONG YU JONG completed a first-half hat trick to set North Korea on course for a 3-0 win over Uzbekistan in its first Women’s Asian Cup appearance since 2010 today.

Defending champion China followed up by beating tournament debutant Bangladesh 2-0.

Both Group B games at Western Sydney Stadium were scoreless in the second half. In the nightcap, what Bangladesh gave away to nine-time champion China in experience, size and skill, it made up for with energy.
