The future of women's soccer in Japan looks bright, if this performance from Kumi Yokoyama is any indicator.

Facing off against North Korea on Tuesday in the semis of the Under-17 Women's World Cup, Yokoyama threaded the North Korean defense like a master tailor and scored the winning goal to send her team to Saturday's championship against ... wait for it ... South Korea!

Considering the state of the countries' diplomatic relations these days, you can bet there won't be any scouting reports passed down from Pyongyang to Seoul, but this video is likely all the South Koreans will need to know about what awaits them.
