Australia beats North Korea 2-1 to reach Women's Asian Cup semifinals and clinch World Cup berth

Sam Kerr scored one goal and created another as Australia advanced to the Women’s Asian Cup semifinals and secured a World Cup spot with a 2-1 win Friday over North Korea. The three-time champion North Koreans had almost two-thirds of possession and played at a high tempo to keep the Australians unsettled, but weren't able to convert their glut of scoring opportunities into more goals against a stubborn Matildas' defense. The North Koreans had 21 shots at goal and 10 on target but couldn't capitalize.
