FAIL: UZBEKISTAN U16 ‘KEEPER SCORES FROM OWN BOX AFTER HIGHLY DODGY THEATRICS FROM NORTH KOREAN GOALIE (VIDEO) During the U16 Asian Football Confederation Championship clash between Uzbekistan and DPR Korea, Uzbek ‘keeper Jasurbek Umrzakov scored an incredible goal from inside his own box. However, ridiculous theatrics from his North Korean opposite number points to something rather dodgy in action. Youngster Umrzakov’s punt flies over the head of Korean ‘keeper GK Jang Paek Ho who is inexplicably miles outside of his own box. His subsequent half-hearted attempts to stop the ball before it trickles into the net are simultaneously hilarious and appalling and very, very questionable… Uzbekistan won the game which sees them face Iraq in the quarter-finals after topping Group D, with the North Koreans, who finished second in the group, set for an apparently easier game against Oman. That apparently easier path to the semi-final is being touted as an alleged reason for the dodgy Uzbek goal and for the 3-1 defeat for North Korea itself. All very odd (and entertaining!).

I have never felt worse for a keeper than I do for North Korea's here. Behold, the most misjudged And this too happened in the AFCU16 C'ship - Uzbekistan goalkeeper Jasurbek Umrzakov scores from his own half bounce of a ball in human history Uzbekistan goalkeeper Jasurbek Umrzakov scores from his own half in AFC U-16 Championship 2016 Goalkeeper scores suspicious goal from his own box in AFC U-16 championship Hmmm ... this goal might warrant a look-see from FIFA. xNormally when a keeper scores a goal, that's the news. It's so rare and usually so unthinkable that seeing it is a joy in and of itself. This goal from the AFC U-16 Championships, however, is making headlines for an entirely different reason. Uzbekistan and DPR Korea were deadlocked at 0-0 in the second half when Uzbekistan goalkeeper Jasurbek Umrzakov scored from inside his own box — albeit with a WHOLE lot of help from his counterpart: What?! Come on. Now, I don't want to call shenanigans, but let's review the tape: Umrzakov knocks an unthreatening boot downfield that winds up nowhere actually near any of his teammates. Under zero pressure, DPR Korea's keeper opts to rush out to play the ball and winds up totally overplaying it. Then he jogs to try and clear it, but falls en route. He gets up, scrambles toward his goal, dives to make a save attempt but ultimately fails. Suspicious. But why would a U-16 side even potentially throw a match? As Uzbekistan went on to be 3-1 winners, they topped Group D with nine points and will face Iraq in the quarterfinals. Unable to get a result, DPR Korea finished second in the group, but will play Oman in the quarters. Nobody can definitively say — other than a coach, player or perhaps FIFA, should they choose to investigate. But it certainly looks like DPR Korea perhaps intended to avoid playing Iraq. Decide for yourselves if you think foul play was in the air.
