The unprecedented goal from a free-kick by South Korea, with its own crocodile in front of the barrier

South Korea drew 2-2 with Colombia in a friendly match played in Asia. At home, Tottenham figure Son excelled with a brace, while in the visit the goals came from James Rodríguez and Jorge Carrascal. However, Most of the eyes remained with the rarity of the South Koreans’ second goal…

At the end of the first half, South Korea had a free kick with clear chances to extend the score, which was 1-0 in their favor at the time. The ball was caught by Son, on his right foot. Six Colombians stood at the barrier and in front of her two kneeling South Koreans.

At first, the picture attracted a lot of attention. It was striking to see Son’s two companions simulate the classic crocodile but in front of the barrier.

The intention could have been to distract the Colombian barrier, and it seems they succeeded, as Son’s shot filtered through Mateus Uribe and Kevin Castaño Gil and went inside Camilo Vargas’ goal. Curious, but finally effective…

Even so, Son’s 2-0 victory was not enough to condemn the Colombians, who turned the score around in the second half with quick goals from James Rodríguez and Jorge Carrascal early in the second half.
