DPR Korea lead Colombia 1-0 after 45 minutes of Group G Olympic football in Glasgow.
The match, which was due to kick off at 7.45pm, was delayed due to a dispute over a Korean flag.
It was North Korea who started the better, and Myong Hwa Jon tested Natalia Gaitan with just four minutes on the clock.
Korea continued to attack and Un Jo Choe twice missed the target, before Chung Sim Kim fired wide moments later.
Both sides continued to attack as the half approached its latter stages, but it was Korea who forced the opening goal.
It came after 39 minutes when the ball bounced off Song Hui Kim in the box and somehow rolled in after poor defending from Colombia.
