The Korea derby ended in a 1-0 win for the South in what was a crucial win for them and their hopes of making it to South Africa next year.
The favourites had chances to win before the eventually got the goal they needed thanks to Kim-Chi-Woo who struck with just 4 miniutes left. South Korea manager Huh-Jong-Moo opted to start Park-Ji-sung and the Manchester United winger played well to give his nation the win over their Northern counterparts.
North Korea had their chances but ultimately failed to convert them and coach Kim-Jong-Huh will need points in June.
The win leaves Group 2 in Asia's fourth qualifying round wide open with South Korea top with 11 points from 5 games while North Korea and Saudi Arabia are in 2nd and 3rd with 10 points from 6 games. Iran are 4th with 6 points from 5 games and the UAE are 5th with a point from 6 games.
