Saudi Arabia 4 North Korea 0: Pizzi's men start Group E in style

Hatan Bahbri, Mohammed Al-Fatil, Salem Al Dawsari and Fawad Al Muwallad were on target as Saudi Arabia beat 10-man North Korea 4-0.

Saudi Arabia beat 10-man North Korea 4-0 as Juan Antonio Pizzi's side made a superb start in Group E of the Asian Cup on Tuesday.

Pizzi's men are among the favourites for the title and were dominant against North Korea, who had Han Kwang-song sent off shortly before half-time at Rashid Stadium.

Hatan Bahbri, Mohammed Al-Fatil, Salem Al Dawsari and Fawad Al Muwallad scored the goals for the three-time winners in what could easily have been an even more comfortable triumph.
