NAGOYA, Japan, Sept. 18 (Yonhap) -- The South Korean men's and women's field hockey teams both won their opening contests of the Asian Games on Friday.

The men's team defeated Bangladesh 5-0 to begin Pool A play at Gifu Prefectural Green Stadium in Gifu, some 30 kilometers north of the main host city of Nagoya. Sim Jae-won, Lee Gang-san, Oh Se-yong, Bae Soung-min and Yang Ji-hun scored a goal apiece.

South Korea scored three times in the second quarter before adding a goal in each of the next two quarters.

"We saw Bangladesh as a dark horse. We wanted to lock things down defensively in the first quarter," South Korea head coach Min Tae-seok said. "And then we wanted to be more aggressive in the second quarter. And our players scored those goals after making their adjustments to the venue."

Before the men's game, the North Korean anthem was played instead of South Korea's. The match organizers then played Bangladesh's anthem before playing the South Korean anthem later. But with the start of the match being delayed, the referee ordered players on both sides to shake hands with each other and to start getting ready to play before the anthem ended.

"I can't believe something like this happened at an international competition," Min said.

The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee said it lodged an official complaint with the organizing committee over the anthem mix-up, demanding an official apology and prevention of a recurrence.

Later at the same venue, the women's team got past Chinese Taipei 3-1 in Pool A, thanks to two goals by Park Seung-ae and another by An Su-jin.

At the previous Asian Games in 2023, South Korea reached the podium in both events -- bronze for men and silver for women.

Both the men's and the women's tournaments will follow the same format.

In each event, 12 teams have been split into two groups of six. The top two teams from each group will progress to the semifinals.

The South Korean men will next play Indonesia at 11 a.m. Tuesday, while the women will be up against Kazakhstan at 9 a.m. Monday.

日本名古屋，9月18日（韩联社）——韩国男子和女子曲棍球队周五在亚运会首场比赛中均取得胜利。

男队在岐阜县立绿色体育场以5比0战胜孟加拉国队，开启了A组的比赛。岐阜县立绿色体育场位于主赛事举办城市名古屋以北约30公里处。沈载元、李刚山、吴世勇、裴成民和杨智勋各进一球。

韩国队在第二节比赛中攻入三球，随后又在接下来的两节比赛中各进一球。

“我们把孟加拉国视为一匹黑马。我们希望在第一节加强防守，”韩国队主教练闵泰锡说道。“然后我们希望在第二节打得更有侵略性。我们的球员在适应了场地条件后，也取得了那些进球。”

男子比赛开始前，播放的却是朝鲜国歌而非韩国国歌。随后，赛事组织方播放了孟加拉国国歌，之后才播放韩国国歌。但由于比赛开始时间被推迟，裁判在国歌奏完前就命令双方球员握手并开始准备比赛。

“我简直不敢相信这种事情竟然会发生在国际比赛中，”闵说道。

韩国体育奥林匹克委员会表示，已就国歌混淆事件向组委会提出正式投诉，要求正式道歉并防止此类事件再次发生。

随后在同一场地，女子队在 A 组的比赛中以 3-1 战胜中华台北队，朴承爱攻入两球，安秀珍也攻入一球。

在 2023 年上一届亚运会上，韩国在男子和女子两个项目中都登上了领奖台——男子获得铜牌，女子获得银牌。

男子组和女子组的比赛都将采用相同的赛制。

每个项目中，12支队伍被分成两组，每组6支队伍。每组前两名将晋级半决赛。

韩国男队将于周二上午 11 点迎战印度尼西亚队，而女队将于周一上午 9 点对阵哈萨克斯坦队。
