  "summary": "North Korea's women's football team defeated Bangladesh 10-0 in their Asian Games opener. According to Punch Nigeria, the team led by seven goals at half-time in Osaka.\n\nThe Asian Games are being held in Japan, with football and basketball competitions already underway. The Korea Times reported that accommodation for athletes has been criticised, with beds in shipping container-style huts being too short for players to stretch out.\n\nThe games officially open on Saturday, with various events taking place in Nagoya and Aichi prefecture. Other teams, including the Philippines basketball team, have been competing, with the Philippines losing to China 105-61.",
