In pictures: Koreas united by football
The North and South Korean football teams have drawn 0-0 in their first match in nearly 10 years - part of a broader effort to heal the Cold War rift which divides the peninsula.
60,000 people, of all ages, packed the World Cup stadium for the match (AFP)
Many were wearing "One Corea" T-shirts as they chanted "United Fatherland"
Others had their faces painted with the symbol of the unified Korea (AP)
... or wore homemade "unification" designs (AFP)
In the same spirit, the two teams abandoned their national flags and entered under one flag symbolising an undivided peninsula
...and held hands to greet the crowd
After battling it out on the pitch, the players hugged each other
As did their head coaches
