North Korea fans also displayed more banners than South Koreans, showing messages that read "attacking game," speed," and "victory." From the South Korean side, there was only one banner that read "we're always with you."

Despite being outnumbered, the South Korean supporters were still very loud.

Playing drums, a small group of South Korean supporters, also known as "the Red Devils," chanted "Daehanminguk," literally meaning Republic of Korea in Korean. North Korea supporters, on the other hand, shouted "Piseung Joson," meaning "North Korea to the victory," in Korean, while hitting their balloon sticks together.

"It's a pity that many South Korean residents here couldn't come since most of them had to work at this time," said South Korean supporter Baek Chang-hyun, who came from Seoul. The inter-Korean match started at 4:10 p.m.

Baek, 32, however, said he was confident that his side could give more energy to players on the pitch.

"We're not worried about what North Koreans do," he said. "I believe our supporters' power is stronger than them. We just hope South Korea can win against North Korea this time."

South Korean women have an inferior head-to-head record against North Korea, with one win, three draws and 14 losses. They are undefeated in the last two matches, though, with back-to-back 1-1 draws. (Yonhap)
