North Korea lose to Nigeria in World Cup warm up match

Nigeria beat North Korea 3-1 in a World Cup warm-up this afternoon but the game was overshadowed by a stampede which caused at least 14 people to be treated for injuries.

The 'incident' happened before kick-off when fans tried to get entry into the Makhulong Stadium in Tembisa and didn't impact the actual match and it kicked off on time, however it was a scare.

Everton striker Aiyegbeni Yakubu opened the scoring after seventeen minutes and Victor Obinna made it 2-0 from the penalty spot, fifteen minutes into the second half. Jong Tea-se pulled one back for North Korea after a mistake from Elderson Echiejile only for Obafemi Martins to put the game to bed.

It wasn't the best day for North Korea and it ended even worse after Cha Jong-hyok was sent off after picking up two yellow cards.
