Indonesia U-17 Defeated 0-6 by North Korea in AFC U-17 Asian Cup Quarter-Final 2025

Indonesia U-17 suffered a heavy 0-6 defeat to North Korea in the quarter-finals of the 2025 AFC U-17 Asian Cup — this result marks the largest scoreline in the knockout stage of the tournament.

Evandra Florasta and his teammates had previously impressed in the group stage by achieving perfect results in Group C:

  • Beating South Korea 1-0
  • Defeating Yemen 4-1
  • Overcoming Afghanistan 2-0

North Korea, finishing second in Group D with five points — ranked five spots above Indonesia in the FIFA rankings (118 vs 123) — shocked everyone with their dominant performance.

Under O Thae Song’s leadership, North Korea took the lead with two quick goals in the first half — Choe Song-hun scored from a corner kick situation, and Kim Yu-jin added another with a bending shot.
