North Korea led through Chae Un Yong's first-half goal. Yun Su-jeong's second-half strike ensured the spoils were shared and the players exchanged tepid high-fives at the end, but did not speak to each other. The neighbours remain technically at war because the 1950-53 Korean war ended with an armistice rather than a peace treaty. The boxing began Monday at Aichi's Nishio Gymnasium with some shock results in the men's light-middleweight (70kg) as silver and bronze medalists from three years ago at the Hangzhou Games both lost in the last 32. Kan Chia-wei of Taiwan, second in Hangzhou, was beaten on a 4-1 split decision by Palestine's Mohammed Issa. "I am not satisfied with this result," said Kan.
