Analysis: Second half dominance key as Kigwancha win on debut

Compatriots 4.25 SC had disposed of Erchim in comprehensive fashion three weeks ago by posting a 6-0 victory so, with only the winners of the three-team Group I advancing to the next stage, the Pyongyang-based side needed all three points. But they did not have it all their own way.

In an even opening half hour it was the hosts who should have gone in front on nine minutes when Soyol-Erdene Gal-Erdene missed a gilt-edged chance by heading wide from just a few yards out as Erchim gave as good as they got in an end-to-end game

First-half chances: Soyol-Erdene Gal-Erdene (15) should have scored in an even first half
