North Korea women thrash Bangladesh 10-0 in Asian Games opener

North Korea's women's football team defeated Bangladesh 10-0 in their Asian Games opener. According to Punch, they led by seven goals at half-time in Osaka.

The Asian Games are taking place in Japan, with football and basketball competitions already underway. The games officially open on a later date, but some events have commenced.

There have been reports of accommodation issues at the Games, with some teams facing difficulties with their living arrangements. Korean officials have described the accommodation as the "worst ever", with beds in shipping container-style huts being too short for some players. The Philippines basketball team had to resort to using Airbnb due to the shortage of rooms.
