Seoul, May 21 -- The semifinal at Suwon Stadium marked the first visit by DPRK athletes to South Korea for a sports competition in nearly eight years, with heavy rain failing to dampen interest in the historic occasion.

Suwon FC Women took the lead early in the second half through Haruhi Suzuki, but Naegohyang responded with goals from Choe Kum Ok and captain Kim Kyong Yong to complete the comeback victory.

Pyongyang-based Naegohyang will face Japan's Tokyo Verdy Beleza in Saturday's final at the same venue.
