CARDIFF - A major diplomatic incident marred the first day of competition at the London Olympics on Wednesday when the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) women's soccer team walked off after the Republic of Korea (ROK) flag was mistakenly displayed before their match against Colombia.

The error occurred in Scotland at Glasgow's Hampden Park stadium which was hosting one of the day's six matches kicking off the women's tournament and led to a lengthy delay before the game eventually started.

Kicking off almost an hour later than the scheduled start time of 1845 GMT, DPRK were far more composed on the pitch and went on to record a 2-0 victory.

In the day's other games, reigning Olympic champions the United States, bidding for a third successive gold, came from behind to beat France 4-2, world champions Japan defeated Canada 2-1 and hosts Britain overcame New Zealand 1-0.

Brazil, among the favorites for gold, thrashed Cameroon 5-0 and Sweden, another possible medallist, thumped South Africa 4-1.

But the drama in Glasgow marked a day in which sporting action began around Britain two days before the official opening ceremony in London on Friday.

The trouble started when the ROK flag was shown on a giant screen before the kickoff of the Group G match at Hampden Park, one of five venues hosting games outside London, and Olympic organizers had to issue an apology.

"The ROK flag was shown in the video package on the screen before the kickoff and the DPRKs were naturally very upset about that," Hampden Park media manager Andy Mitchell told Reuters.

"We have made a full apology to the team and the DPRK National Olympic Committee(NOC). A genuine mistake was made for which we apologise. Steps will be taken to ensure it does not happen again."

When asked if he thought it was an accident, DPRK coach Sin Ui-gun was not so sure and said he would ask the organizers the same question.

"We were angry because our players were introduced as if they were from South Korea, which may affect us greatly as you may know," he said.

"Our team was not going to participate unless the problem was solved perfectly and fortunately some time later, the broadcasting was corrected and shown again live so we made up our mind to participate and go on with the match," he added.

"If this matter cannot be solved, we thought going on was nonsense. Winning the game cannot compensate for that thing."
