Among the eight goals nominated, Son Heung-min’s stunning right-footed free kick winning goal

in the quarterfinals against Australia was proudly included in the candidate list.

In the match against Australia held at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar on the 3rd,

Son Heung-min scored a free kick from the left side of the penalty arc with his right foot in the 14th minute of the first half of extra time when the game was tied 1-1,

leading Korea to a 2-1 comeback victory.

Regarding this, Asian Football Confederation said, “Korea went into overtime in the quarterfinals against Australia after scoring a penalty kick in extra time in the second half,” adding,

“Son Heung-min, who induced a penalty kick in extra time in the second half,

scored a wonderful free kick for the win near the left side of the penalty area.

“It exploded,” he explained.

The candidate group included two scenes in which a goal was scored against Korea.
