NORTH KOREA have won the Women’s U20 World Cup after beating Japan in the final.
Choe Il-Son was the hero as she netted a brilliant winner to hand North Korea the trophy.
They shocked several big favourites on the road to glory in Bogata including USA and Brazil.
And the final continued the theme with North Korea big underdogs going up against Japan.
But they created a piece of history and their 1-0 win means they are U20 World Cup champions for a third time.
Choe was the hero and she won the game in style, bending a left-footed shot into the back of the net with the help of a headed flick from a defender.

The 17-year-old picked up the ball on the right flank and cleverly stepped over it, allowing her to beat her marker to the ball.
She then darted inside before unleashing the curling drive that the goalkeeper was unable to keep out.
That sparked wild scenes as Choe’s team-mates all rushed over and a massive pile-on ensued.
Fans were amazed by the victory and many offered their congratulations.
