Inter-Zone Final - 1st Leg: Hanoi FC 2-2 4.25 SC

Hanoi: Kim Yu-song’s ninth goal of a prolific AFC Cup campaign earned DPR Korea’s 4.25 SC a dramatic 2-2 draw away at Vietnamese heavyweights Hanoi FC in the first leg of this season’s Inter-Zone Final.  

After Rim Chol-min had given 4.25 an early lead, goals from Nguyen Van Quyet and Papa Kebe had appeared to swing the tie in Hanoi’s favour, only for the prolific Kim to strike with three minutes of normal time remaining to hand his side a distinct advantage with the return tie still to come in Pyongyang on October 2.
