Striker James Chamanga scored a hat-trick to help Zambia beat World Cup-bound North Korea 4-1 in a friendly international on Saturday.

The Chinese-based striker scored twice within the first 15 minutes and completed his hat-trick with a 70th minute penalty.

Mun In Guk converted a penalty for North Korea before Zambia substitute Felix Sunzu, who had come on for Chamanga, completed the rout by netting home in the final minute.

North Korea will make their first World Cup appearance -- in South Africa -- since the 1966 finals in England.

Zambia were using the match to warm-up for January's African Nations Cup finals in Angola.
