In football, everything can happen - players miss the ball, get tangled in their own feet, fall flat on the ground, or the ball slips between the legs of the goalkeepers. However, to find a sight of such a goal that was missed by the goalkeeper of the North Korean youth football team, you need to search further.
The dynamics of the match of group D of the Asian Youth Football Championship were clarified by the teams of Uzbekistan and North Korea.
At the beginning of the second half, Uzbek goalkeeper Jasurbek Umrzakov decided to kick the ball into the field, and from that moment on, the real "blunder" began.
The Uzbek hit the ball very hard towards the field, while his opponent from North Korea had come out of the goal.
Seeing the ball flying towards him, the Korean goalkeeper decided to send it back with a head kick, but miscalculated the trajectory - the ball landed much further than where the Korean had anticipated.
The young player rushed to the ball bouncing and flying towards the goal, and would probably have caught it, but in his haste, he fell. The goalkeeper, trying his best, rushed towards the goal, but the ball still rolled into the net and the score became 1:0 in favor of the Uzbeks.
This happened in the 49th minute of the match, and the Uzbeks won the confrontation 3:1 and made it to the quarterfinals of the Asian Championship, where they will compete against the Iranian team.
