N. Korea draws with Tajikistan in U19 Asian football match

SEOUL, Nov. 4 (Yonhap) -- North Korea was held to a one-all draw by Tajikistan in
an under-19 Asian football competition on Tuesday (Korean time), the sport's
regional governing body said on its Web site.
The tie added to a win North Korea captured in their opener of the Asian Football
Confederation championship in Saudi Arabia and helped the team maintain their
second seed in Group C.
North Korea will face China Wednesday in their final group-phase match. A berth
in the semifinals of the 16-nation tournament automatically guarantees a ticket
to the under-20 World Cup scheduled for next year in Egypt.
