Onthe night of thatday when the final match was played, theGeneral Secretary watched a live broadcast of the match from the beginning to the end.

Heinwardly encouraged the players every moment, wishing them triumphantreturn home. At last thematch ended in the victory of the DPRK team.

When the whistle of the chief referee sounded todeclare the end of the match, he exclaimed with pleasure “We won!” and said thathe felt like hugging and giving the footballers and head coach a piggyback.

Then he immediately gave instructions to welcome the players well.

Aftera while, looking at the accompanying officials, he told them to let the women footballers get off the plane with national flags draped over their shoulders.
