South Korean women’s football team has beaten China for the first time ever.

During the East Asian Football Federation Women’s Cup on Monday, Korean players beat their Chinese counterparts 2-0 at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium.

Han Jin-sook drew the first goal 42 minutes into the fist half on an assist from forward Jung Jung-suk.

In the second half, Korean striker Park Eun-sun added goal number-two to seal the victory.

The Korean women's team had never won a game against the Chinese since the sides first met in the 1990 Beijing Asian Games.

Meanwhile, North Korea got off to a good start with its 1-0 victory against Japan on the same day.

The team’s 19-year-old midfielder Ri Kum-suk hammered home a goal 38 minutes into the first half.
