| A FIFA World Cup qualifier between South Korea and North Korea plays out at the empty Kim Il Sung Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, Tuesday. Neither a live broadcast nor the entrance of foreign journalists based in Pyongyang ― let alone spectators ― was allowed for the high-profile match that came amid stalled inter-Korean relations. The BBC called the game "the world's strangest football derby." In the absence of reporters, what happened during the game and the final score were made public by text messages Asian Football Confederation (AFC) supervisors in the stadium sent to the Korea Football Association (KFA) in Seoul via AFC headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The game ended in a 0-0 draw. Courtesy of KFA |
