Organisers have apologised for playing the North Korean national anthem for the South Korean men's hockey team at the Asian Games in Japan.
South Korea, who thrashed Bangladesh 5-0, looked confused as the incorrect national anthem was played.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported that Bangladesh's national anthem followed before South Korea's actual anthem was played.
North Korea's national anthem, along with other symbols of the secretive state, are banned in South Korea.
