North Korea delay match over flag dispute

North Korea's women's football team are understood to have delayed the start of their match with Colombia following a dispute over a flag.

The South Korean flag was shown instead of the North Korea version on the big screens before the game at Hampden Park.

The players then refused to go out onto the pitch in Scotland because of the mix-up.

However, it has since been announced that play will start at 8.50pm.
