However, Ri Un-Sim inspired the Asian side to victory after scoring twice in either half of the game with Jo Son-Yon finishing off from a penalty.
Her first was the opener which arrived after 6 minutes when she stooped low to direct a header in off the far post of goalkeeper Victoria Agyei's goal.
The North Koreans got the second on the evening in the 78th minute when Ri, again scored.
Then in stoppage time and two goals to their advantage got a penalty which was converted by Jo.
