• North Korea held South Korea to a 0-0 draw Tuesday in a World Cup qualifying soccer match played in an empty stadium in Pyongyang.


• South Korean soccer officials were unable to watch a telecast of the historic game and South Korean spectators and media were denied entry.


• North Korea has agreed to provide a recording of the match which would allow South Korean networks to play the game on tape delay.


• The game was the first competitive meeting between the national men’s teams in the North Korean capital, although the North hosted the South in a friendly in 1990.
