Glasgow: DPR Korea conceded four times in the last 20 minutes of their 2012 Olympics Women's Football Tournament group stage clash on Saturday to go down 5-0 to France.
Buoyed by their 2-0 win over Colombia in their opening match, the North Koreans went into the game at Hampden Park in confident mood but just as it was looking as though they would go into the interval on an even keel Laura Georges struck on the stroke of half-time.
Substitute Elodie Thomis boosted Les Bleues advantage in the 70th minute before the Lyon winger turned provider to set up Marie-Laure Delie just 60 seconds later.
Wendie Renard made it 4-0 in the 81st minute and with three minutes left to play Camille Catala completed the rout leaving DPR Korea needing to defeat the USA and hope that France fail to beat Colombia in the final round of group stage matches on Tuesday.
