South Korea power into Women's Asian Cup semis

Dominant South Korea swept into the Women’s Asian Cup semi-final with a 6-0 trouncing of Uzbekistan in Sydney on Saturday.

They will face either Japan or the Philippines in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

Son Hwa-yeon opened South Korea's account in the ninth minute with Ko Yoo-jin collecting a second before the break in a one-sided affair.

Park Soo-jeong, Ji So-yun, Lee Eun-young and Jang Sel-gi added second-half goals against an Uzbek side playing in the knockouts of the continental competition for the first time.

Despite losing, Uzbekistan still have a chance to make the World Cup.

They move to the playoffs along with North Korea and Taiwan and the loser of the Japan-Philippines clash on Sunday.

The winners of those two matches will also gain automatic qualification to the global showpiece.
